John
Nolan Attended The Opening of a Compelling Photographic Exhibition by Fionntán
Ó Súilleabháin at the Ballymun Axis Arts Centre
|
Travelling
through Canon Del Sumidero, Mexico The
display of unusual images from "off the beaten track" features more than seventy
photos of varying sizes and dimensions in single and multi-frames. All framing
was professionally done by the local Ballymun Youthreach Project with funding
provided by the Irish language statutory body Foras na Gaeilge and Dublin City
Council. All proceeds from photo sales will go to a Palestinian childrens charity
in the Gaza Strip. The
exhibition will run for the month of October. |
Ballymun's Axis Arts Centre saw the launch of a photographic exhibition with a
difference last night, Thursday October 2nd. The display entitled "Íomhánna ón
imeall" or "Images from the edge" in English by local primary teacher Fionntán
Ó Súilleabháin , featured a broad range of photos from many corners of the world
. Photographed by Fionntán over the past two decades theses images are compelling
on many levels. With bilingual captions and detailed background descriptions we
are brought on a visual journey from the light-hearted to the grim and serious.
Here are some examples, Giant Caribbean turtles, the Killing Fields of Cambodia,
tower blocks in Ballymun being demolished, golden fields from his native Wexford,
a Sandinista rally in Nicaragua, a massacre site from El Salvador, a series of
wall murals from around the world, and refugee camps in The Gaza Strip. These
images are definitely not holiday snaps, they are a visual diary compiled by a
person with an acute awareness of the social condition.

John
Nolan's Abstract Work Receives Special Recognition At The Upstream People Gallery
Omaha Nebraska
The
"10th Annual Abstraction Juried Online International Art Exhibition" highlights
a number of artists' works from the semi-abstract and non-objective to the purely
abstract. Remarkably this show includes artists from China, Ireland, Japan, Belgium
and the Republic of Tchad in Chad. Three
of Nolan's abstract pieces received special recognition and were judged solely
on merit. "JOHN NOLAN of Dublin, Ireland brings power to his work by the brilliance
of colour and the direct simplicity. The twelve inch square format also strengthens
his work. Of special recognition are "Jazz Process 3", "Palimpsest 008" and "Palimpsest
010" even though all of his works are great in the group." Larry
Bradshaw, Professor of Art, Nebraska University, USA. To

appreciation and understanding of traditional and innovative approaches to the
visual arts. Denise Donnelly of the Bad Art Gallery takes on the task of hanging

Let me introduce you to "The Jimmies", a fantastic new novel by my very good friend
Ronald (Ronnie) Devlin. This
is a comic tale of loss and discovery, sickness and recovery, sin and redemption.
Jimmy Moran is a man in search of something. The only problem is that he simply
doesn't know what he's looking for. Laugh with Jimmy. Laugh at him. Cringe for
him. Feel his pain. Mainly, however, enjoy him. Life's like this for a forty-four
year old. For
