Sinéad Ní Mhaonaigh
AN tIMEALL – Peintures

Her paintings offer seductive invitations to read them figuratively – their shapes and ‘non shapes’ appearing like ancient prehistoric monoliths which can, at the same time, seem like naïve renderings of garishly hued industrial landscapes. Her paintings seem to play with the idea of resemblance; they are suggestive rather than representational, with oblique references to collective identity and ritual.
“There is a boundary to men’s passions when they
act from feelings; but none when they are under the
influence of imagination.” Edmund Burke
