Hansels House

Kevin Kavanagh Gallery 2007

Tom Climent Hansels House

Kevin Kavanagh is pleased to present Hansels House an exhibition of four large paintings by Tom Climent

Hansel’s House is a return to the subject matter of earlier works in which Climent  explored interior space. Climent’s new paintings, influenced by the  Dutch Painters particularly Vermeer, suggest a narrative by the placing  of the figure within an interior. Climent paints in an intuitive way  trying to create an emotional resonance within his work. His paintings  are open ended but have a suggestion of something tangible realised by  the figure set in the interior space.

Tom Climent was born in Cork in 1970 and studied at the Crawford College of Art from 1991 to 1995. Solo exhibitions include New Paintings at the Fenton Gallery in 2003 and Pure  at Temple Bar gallery, Dublin in 1997. In 1997 he won The Tony O’Malley  Travel Award and the Victor Treacy Award at the Butler Gallery,  Killenny in 1996. This exhibition is in association with the Fenton Gallery, Cork. The exhibition was featured on The View, RTE 1 22 May 2007. Click here to watch the clip.
