Flights of Fancy exhibition of artworks now open at Clonmel library

Artist Sean Walsh

An exhibition of work by Cahir-based artist Sean Walsh is now on display at the library in Clonmel.
The exhibition of artworks is entitled: Flights of Fancy and will run until September.
“The work is structuralist in nature, that is to say the core of each work has at its base a skeleton of lines and curves, carefully chosen and placed according to a system of measurements. This is an age old system and is called the Golden Section or Phi D’Or ,” said Sean.
“In my work I try to create a unity of elements. I see this as a common thread between the most ancient artworks down to the present day. This quest for compositional purity is to me both timeless and essential. It is the yardstick I use to judge the validity of my work and I invite the viewer to do the same,” added Sean who is originally from Clonmel and now is based in Cahir.
