‘Sea Fields’ by Mary Lohan

‘Sea Fields’ by Mary Lohan at Hamilton Gallery

7^th June – 30^th June

 

Mary Lohan’s landscapes are based on locations along the Irish coastline. From the shore, the sea is fascinating, hypnotic. It’s vast and empty, and yet what you’re looking at is never still. And the light: ever-changing beautiful, frightening, charged with “the silence of those infinite spaces” that so disturbed Pascal. Then there’s the shore. A rocky headland, or close up sand and stone, soil and fields besieged by the sea, by wind and rain and time. When you paint, you try to capture a glimpse of all this: the scale and the depth, the feeling of land set against sea, the constant state of flux and, mostly, the colour of the light.
