Diana Kingston: March 12th - March 30th

Diana Kingston's eagerly awaited solo show opens at the OSB gallery in Enniskerry on the 12th March (3.00 to 5.00 pm). Her beautifully painted and mysterious images find their source in the minute observation of shells, flowers, fruit and the detritus of the seashore. After two sell-out shows in the Tom Caldwell Gallery in the 70s, Diana moved abroad to Germany and the Middle-East and was lost for more than 15 years to Irish art. She is only now regaining her lofty reputation. Her exquisitely crafted miniaturist studies call to mind William Blake's phrase of seeing "the world in a grain of sand and heaven in a wild flower". As Blake isn't available the show will be opened by another fine poet, Peter Fallon.
