Dubliner Fergus Feehily returns from his current Berlin homestead to present an exhibition that focuses on place and illumination. The exhibition is situated in deep winter, taking place on both sides of the solstice while making associations with places as far-reaching as the megalithic site of Newgrange and the neon streets of Shinjuku, Tokyo. The title, Fortune House, conjures a vision of a site where luck, prosperity, or a glimpse into the future might be found. For this exhibition, a new artist’s book, The Horse and The Rider, brings together many reflections on thinking about and experiencing art, and alternative ways of seeing and understanding artistic values.
Feehily’s self-reflective writing moves between disciplines, chronologies and geographies. Through these compelling connections, between wandering thoughts and the real world, Feehily’s paintings are formed somewhere between the material and magical.
5 – 9 Temple Bar, Dublin 2, D02 AC84
The exhibition runs at Temple Bar Gallery + Studios until February 23rd.
Tuesday to Friday, 11am – 6pm, Saturday + Sunday, 12pm – 4pm
