Dublin City Gallery The Hugh Lane

If you haven't been to the Francis Bacon exhibition 'A Terrible Beauty' in the Hugh Lane in Dublin - it is well worth a visit.
I did some of the photography of the artifacts in the beautiful catalogue - very demanding in a technical sense - as the colour rendition is of primary importance and every care and detail was taken during the shoot.



I've had the pleasure of working on other recent exhibitions at the Hugh Lane. The celebration of the centenary of the founding of the first modern art gallery in Dublin - now Dublin City Gallery The Hugh Lane, produced a very beautiful coffee table book with a series of very interesting articles on different aspects of the gallery. All the gallery interiors and exterior photography, shot by myself, was beautifully reproduced as full and double page spreads.


The recent exhibition 'The Quick and the Dead' allowed me to visit the four featured artists and photograph them and their studios. The book of the exhibition is a tastefully designed production on a high quality recycled paper and looks and feels great. What great presents these books would make over Christmas - the gallery book shop can sort you out.
