Adam Pomeroy - Nocturne
“Nocturne”
An exhibition of new paintings by Adam Pomeroy
March 1st – 22nd
The Doorway Gallery, 24 South Frederick St, Dublin 2.
The Doorway Gallery is delighted to host an exclusive show by Adam Pomeroy entitled “Nocturne”. The show will officially be opened by James O'Halloran, Adams Auctioneers, on Thursday March 1st
Between 6 -7.30pm, at No. 24 South Frederick St, and is scheduled to run until March 22nd.
“Born in Norfolk, England, in 1979, I moved to Clare in 1999 and started painting professionally in 2001. As a photorealistic Artist, my work is focused on still life and figure painting. From my own perspective, the subject matter of a painting is less important than its treatment, but my practice is rooted to direct observation.
My current work is concerned with minimalist realism, paring down representation to the essential, without sacrificing the integrity of the subject. ‘Nocturne’, is as much about what is not painted, as what is painted. The subjects here are mere flickers of light, like the perception of ghosts. The intention is that the beholder’s eye will unconsciously supply what cannot be seen, giving the subject a perceived solidity that is illusory. “ Adam Pomeroy
“Adams paintings portray an overt sense of spirituality, and he has the unique knack of touching raw nerve ends. His work delivers a lovely sense of sensuality, with the light handling of paint/tonalities. At the risk of going off the deep end, the reproduced image has a sense of rose madder in the underpainting giving warmth and structure to the whole. Adam’s work contains real sincerity which hits you between the eyes.” Rod Thomas
Associate Professor

Angela Morgan - Setting the Scene
The Doorway Gallery is delighted to host an exhibition by Angela Morgan titled ‘Setting the Scene’ on Thursday, April 5th between 6-7.30pm on 24 South Frederick Street. The Canadian ambassador, Kevin Vickers will be officially opening the exhibition on the night.
Angela Morgan lives and works in Fernie, B.C. The completion of her Bachelor in fine arts degree (BFA) in April of 2000 ended a ten year stretch of university education. Angela attended Bismarck State College in North Dakota, Concordia University in Montreal, University of Regina, and finally the University of Calgary.
Angela Morgan’s work celebrates humanity through the use of colour, pattern, and line. Her human figures express the poses of life; the jubilation of dance, the contemplation of parenthood, and the melancholy of summer’s end. Colours fuse and meld to achieve gesture, transforming abstract images into living moments.
Angela is represented in galleries across Canada, Widen, Switzerland and Dublin, Ireland. Locally, Angela can be found at her working studio in historic downtown Fernie. This is Angela’s second solo show with The Doorway Gallery.
“I think that while paintings these images I have been envisioning how we "set the scene" in our everyday life. Attention to detail and creating magic moments around celebrations and milestones.
I love the use of the word "scene" - haven't we all caused a scene at one time in our life - perhaps a bit dramatic and expressive...what is over the top anyways!
These paintings are an expression of the life we create - the colour we add to our days, the connections we nurture with our loved ones, the places we dance and frolick in! ” Angela Morgan

Tony O'Connor - 'Unbridled'
The Doorway Gallery is delighted to host an exhibition by Tony O’Connor titled ‘Unbridled’ on Thursday, May 3rd between 6-7.30pm on 24 South Frederick Street. The exhibition will be officially opened by radio and television personality, Marty Whelan.
“My thirst for painting horses is unquenchable. As an artist I am wildly self-indulgent, in that I am untempered in my subject matter of choice. Unchecked, I find myself drawn to the horse, almost to the exclusion of all else, something about them stirs my soul. Their graceful movement, their eyes expressing so much. I try to capture those moments of time and space. My ancestors all worked with horses in the blacksmithing trade, and I believe it's an instinctual, uncontainable thing within me, some might even say a genetic memory to continue the tradition of working with the horse. It certainly gives pause for thought to the notion of unbridled free will.
Much of my work focuses on the balance between light and dark, about how much we hide, and how much we choose to reveal. Some of my new work is more excessively uncurbed with the juxtaposition of vibrant colour of the luminous silks, so evocative of the thoroughbred racehorse and the broad physicality of a solitary horse in a background so starkly dark. Of course true darkness is not an absence of light, but rather a belief that that light will never return. But the return of the light is as unstoppable, as irrepressible as a horse unbridled.” Tony O’Connor
The Artist
Born in Kerry in 1977, Tony O’Connor studied Fine Art at Crawford College of Art & Design where he also gained his Higher Diploma in Art Education. Presently, Tony can be found working at his Cork-based studio, creating ever-evolving pieces of equine art.
Tony has a disciplined approach in his study of horse anatomy, and puts a great emphasis on technical execution. As with much of his work, the void of background and simplicity of the pieces serve to highlight the natural physical perfection of these animals. Anyone who appreciates classic elegance cannot but be drawn in.
This is Tony O’Connor’s fourth solo show with the Doorway Gallery.

Cristina Bergoglio - 'Urban Sensations'
Urban Sensations
An exhibition of new paintings by Cristina Bergoglio
August 9th – 30th
The Doorway Gallery, 24 South Frederick St, Dublin 2.
The Doorway Gallery is delighted to host an exhibition by Cristina Bergoglio titled ‘Urban Sensations’ on Thursday, August 9th between 6-7.30pm on 24 South Frederick Street.
Cristina Bergoglio who is closely related to Pope Francis (Neice) was born in Córdoba, Argentina in 1967. Her artistic and literary vision was developed from a very early age culminating in a degree in architecture from the National University of Córdoba. Cristina´s artwork is inspired by the city, her work is mysterious and sensual drawing you into a world where beauty can be found in every element that surrounds us, a universal quality that she captures in each of her paintings.
Using a diverse range of media Cristina finds a unique perspective of the urban landscape, she explains: “The urban phenomenon fascinates me for being a living organism, mutable, indecipherable. It is the place of attachments and addictions. I like to capture the chaos and cosmos of each moment”
The work doesn’t focus on the details of the building, the cars or the people, but rather the living, breathing
atmosphere of the city “They are ever-changing scenarios” explains the artist “The city is always a thing of
vitality, of movement and sensuality. What I care about is the movement, the urban dance, and capturing the moment in a single brush stroke”
Having exhibited in Spain, Belgium and France, her South American roots and her childhood in Argentina have also helped to shape her artistic persona. Her work can be found in museums and collections around the world. These paintings are an expression of the life we create - the colour we add to our days, the connections we nurture with our loved ones, the places we dance and frolick in!
The Doorway Gallery is delighted to host Cristina’s first solo in Ireland.
Roisin O'Farrell - Silver | Paper | Gold
The Doorway Gallery is delighted to host an exhibition by Roisin O’Farrell titled Silver | Paper |Gold
On Thursday, September 6th between 6-7.30pm on 24 South Frederick Street.
This new series of work continues Róisín’s reflection on the idea of home as a complex layer of comfort and chaos, strength and fragility, messy relationships and unconditional belonging. This new work offers a break from her usual exclusive use of oils as a media and allowed her to explore other textures such as acrylic, metallic and papers, as well as oils.
Silver:
The silver vintage cutlery, old and traditional belong in a velvet lined box or on a mahogany table with starched linen but here they are presented within the untidiness and the mess of life. Strong, bold and beautiful, they speak of the structure of an inter-generational family.
Paper:
The paper is expensive, for the 'good room'. It papers over the story of life underneath. The good and the bad, the hurt and the joy. The paper is the side we show to the mother we meet in the supermarket with the perfect life. In this work the paper is torn and unapologetically allows the story behind to emerge.
Gold:
The gold can be found in the depth of the ground (background). It can't be easily seen. It must be looked for. It’s the vein of wholeness. It’s the unexpected resilience. It’s a new horizon within.
The new series will be accompanied in this show by a selection of new works in oils that continue the themes of old world interiors and the familiar welly boot family portraits. This will be Roisin’s fifth solo show with The Doorway Gallery.
‘I would spread the word about Róisín’s new amazing multimedia work but would rather keep her all to myself’
Mairead Ronan, RTE & BBC TV and Radio presenter
“Beautiful, detailed, powerful and decidedly female” Barbara Muir, Artist and Writer

Her solo show will also be on display which will comprise of eighteen new works by her. Not to be missed!Aileen Johnston - The Home Place
The Doorway Gallery is delighted to host an exhibition by Aileen Johnson titled “The Home Place” On Thursday, October 4th between 6-7.30pm on 24 South Frederick Street.
Aileen Johnston is a textile artist specialising in embroidery. This collection of new work from Aileen entitled “The Home Place “is inspired by her home on a farm in Wicklow, and the themes she explores are the natural world and the rhythm of the seasons. Using hand embroidery, hand beading and the technique of free machine embroidery and influenced by her love of mediaeval Books of Hours and illuminated manuscripts with their intricate borders and jewel-like colours, she has created pieces that shimmer with detail and intricacy .Her work is held in private and public collections both here and abroad.
This is Aileen’s first solo show in twelve years so The Doorway Gallery is thrilled to host this wonderful exhibition.
“Aileen Johnston’s embroidered images are remarkable .Technically brilliant,she has her own distinctive offbeat visual style,and her work is singular and engaging.”
Aidan Dunne,The Irish Times.
“Aileen’s work captures people, places and creatures in vibrant and shimmering thread. Johnston achieves a magical quality in each intricate and unique piece, exploiting the natural undulations of cloth and the luminescence of the fibres to gain depth and light.”
Irish Independent.
