About artist: Ruth Egan is an Irish artist who studied visual arts at fine art academy St Lucas in Brussels, Belgium, specialising in painting and printmaking. Based in Dublin, she has had paintings and prints exhibited in both Belgium and Ireland: most recently in solo exhibitions at St John’s Theatre & Arts Centre (Listowel) and in Cruthú Arts Festival, Longford. Recent group exhibitions include Ranelagh Arts Festival 2022, Halftone Print Fair (Dublin) and The Virtual Gallery in Birr Vintage Week & Arts Festival 2021 (Co. Offaly). She has had some of her images published in The Ogham Stone and Studies in Arts and Humanities Journal, among others, and this year one of her images was one of seven winning images for the ÉIRÍ (Evoking Ireland’s Resilient female Icons) Project international arts competition. The physical process of creating an artwork is at the centre of her practice where she is concerned the interplay of colour, form and light dynamics in fashioning the finished work. People or animals and nature in general are recurrent themes, and her art is a constant attempt to capture a stillness in flow of the surrounding flux – a presence, a stirring, a concurrence of colours – and distil this into image. There is an openness and looseness in creating the image and often serendipity plays a role as chance markings or imperfections can lead to unexpected turns in the development of the image.
About artwork: This work although unframed is nevertheless ready to hang since it is painted on a canvas frame with hanging fitting at the back and so can be hung directly on the wall.
