Irish Coast

80 × 80cm, Oil and Acrylic on Canvas
(88 × 88cm framed)

“Trying hard to pin upon the canvas a little more of the infinite splendors of this place.”
Rockwell Kent, Wilderness (1920)

Created as part of Kevin Lowery’s LAND’S END - An Artist’s Journey to Glenlough 100 Years After Rockwell Kent exhibition, Ireland Reef is a tribute to Kent’s painting of the same name, inspired by the monumental sea cliffs and untamed Atlantic landscape of County Donegal. The work reflects Kevin’s experience of travelling through and painting a landscape shaped by exposure, isolation, and continually changing weather.

The exhibition runs at the Regional Cultural Centre, Letterkenny, from October 3 to November 14, and paintings will be available for collection or delivery after the end of the exhibition.
