Sat 03 Mar 2009Love in the landscape
Pádraig McCaul’s romantic, painterly vision of the west of Ireland excludes all stain of human interference (apart from his windowless, doorless houses), and aims to draw the viewer into his quiet imagining of the lives lived there.
His new work at the Bad Art Gallery is a series of large landscapes inspiring and inspired by the stories Will Merriman tells in the songs on his eight-track CD, The Light of Which I Speak. It’s a collaborative project for the artists; McCaul had the idea for the show after a gig with their band, The Harvest Ministers, and within eight months the project, comprising eight songs and 25 paintings, was complete.
