Belonging - Th茅r猫se Healy-Kelly

Belonging is an exhibition of paintings by Th茅r猫se Healy-Kelly featuring depictions caught in the polarities of country and coast. From the Galway trawlers and the bustling street scene back to the dog lying lazily at the end of the winding stairs all rendered in oil on canvas, Healy-Kelly鈥檚 work is full of expression and movement. It is real, yet abstract. She is an atmospheric painter and her work is reflective and autobiographical. Th茅r猫se takes inspiration from artists like Una Sealy, Jenny Saville and the portrait work of Ewan Uglow, as well as the still lifes and limited palettes of Morandi and Brian Ballard.

Simplicity and self-acceptance are therefore the themes for this exhibition - her children鈥檚 favourite author is Dr. Suess and quoting him she says鈥淏e who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don鈥檛 matter and those who matter don鈥檛 mind鈥�. This level of self-acceptance allows one to believe that you need the courage to be authentic, vulnerable and imperfect. This exhibition has this realism and originality it reflects the artist鈥檚 life and conveys a brightness and happiness. Painting makes her feel happy and this is reflected in many of the works on display.

Healy-Kelly is a UCC graduate, living in Galway city and coming from rural North Cork, and is currently studying for a degree in Art and Design in GMIT. Th茅r猫se is a featured artist in Paul and Aileen Finucane鈥檚 publication 鈥極ld Pier Union Hall鈥�.

She exhibits in the Kenny Gallery, Galway and has been an invited artist to the Kanturk Arts Festival. She has been involved in many group exhibitions but 鈥楾he Jennings Gallery鈥� is her first major solo exhibition.

The Exhibition opens on Friday 6^th February and runs until Friday 20^th March 2015.
