‘no ghosts’ by MICHAEL WANN
1 March – 31 March 2012
Hamilton Gallery, 4 Castle Street, Sligo.
The Hamilton Gallery are delighted to invite you to the opening of 'no ghosts', an exhibition of new work by Michael Wann, on Thursday 1st March at 6pm. John Waters, journalist and author will open the exhibition.
Michael Wann observes the remnants of lost moments, of obscured or discarded memories, of unconscious arbitrary events found in a local landscape: a pile of sticks in a field, a derelict habitat, a forgotten or neglected interior. As a draughtsman Wann allows the flawed elements of mark making, the drip and smudge and simple dirt of his medium, to form an intrinsic part of the process, giving each finished work honesty and a narrative that adds layers to the subject.
Michael lives and works in North Sligo. He is a regular contributor to the RHA Annual Exhibition, where in 2006 he was awarded the AXA Insurance Drawing Prize. In 2010 he won the Royal Ulster Academy’s Drawing Award and the Rowel Friers Perpetual Trophy. More recently he has exhibited as a solo artist with the Cross Gallery, Dublin.
