‘ReMark’.

Byrne’s new works on display in ReMark emerged from the artist’s experience of time spent in County Kerry, Ireland in November 2024.

Created as as an initial embryonic exploration, the pieces are a response to her immediate experience of the region, the land of Ireland and it’s culturally unique, rich DNA. The paintings reference a land laden with culturally loaded sites, both natural and otherwise, of historical significance and richness that evidence the habitation by…and movement of past peoples.

The emerging works are reduced in their delivery yet feature occasional contextual references. Topographical observation sits alongside notions of Byrne’s more vital concern of the ‘liminal’ within those spaces in the wider aesthetic of a painterly approach.
