'Changing Landscapes' by Deirdre Rodgers

'Artist's Statement'.

 'Being surrounded by the landscape in Kenmare where I lived for almost twenty years, it is not surprising that it influenced my work. Firstly the paintings were semi abstract landscapes but over the years have developed into more realistic paintings. The sky was originally a big part of the landscapes but as I continued to paint this changed. 

Mostly l work in oil on canvas layering thin layers of paint one over the other slowly giving the work an almost watercolour appearance but recently I have become more diverse and use oils, watercolours, chalk pastels and acrylics. Also while stay ing with nature I have started painting flowers and am aiming at working in a looser more gentle style.'

This exhibition will run until December 2018

All the Money in the World (2017)

Rome, 1973. Masked men kidnap a teenage boy named John Paul Getty III (Charlie Plummer). His grandfather, Jean Paul Getty (Christopher Plummer), is the richest human in the world, a billionaire oil magnate, but he's notoriously miserly. His favorite grandson's abduction is not reason enough for him to part with any of his fortune. All the Money in the World (2017) follows Gail, (Michelle Williams), Paul's devoted, strong-willed mother, who unlike Getty, has consistently chosen her children over his fortune. Her son's life in the balance with time running out, she attempts to sway Getty even as her son's mob captors become increasingly more determined, volatile and brutal. When Getty sends his enigmatic security man Fletcher Chace (Mark Wahlberg) to look after his interests, he and Gail become unlikely allies in this race against time that ultimately reveals the true and lasting value of love over money.
