Paul Rose - Bogs of Ireland


Artist Paul Rose showcases a collection of his bog landscape paintings in his exhibition Bogs of Ireland at Brambles Café, National Museum of Ireland-Country Life. Paul's practice is about conveying a scenario by creating paintings in abstract or expressionistic form allowing the viewer to piece together the works for their own perception. He has always been fascinated by the Irish wetlands/bogs which are valued landscapes and places of unique flora and fauna. Its topography is transformed by ever changing light, at times crammed or lost in dejection, sometimes standing full pride with poignant restraint, calmness, wellbeing and ruggedness. Rose was born in England and moved to Ireland in 1995. After a serious assault by a patient during his previous occupation as a nurse, he took up painting as a therapeutic outlet. He graduated from GMIT in 2012. He has had solo exhibitions in Dublin, Sligo, Wicklow and Portugal. Paul lives and works in Kiltimagh, Co Mayo. Bogs of Ireland is on display until 27th of August 2015.
