New Paintings Tom Climent, Aidan Crotty & Stephen Lawlor
May 10th – 28th 2011
An exhibition of New Paintings by Tom Climent, Aidan Crotty and Stephen Lawlor will open at the Lavit Gallery on Tuesday May 10th.
Tom Climent’s most recent works are more architectural than previous ones. A lighter use of paint and an interest in mood is evident in this new series. He is interested in the idea of a shell, a simple structure and uses the following quote from the philosopher Bachelard to remind us of our feelings towards these places – “When we are lost in darkness and see a distant glimmer of light, who does not dream of a thatched cottage or, to go more deeply still into legend, of a hermit’s hut.” Cork artist Tom Climent graduated from Crawford College of Art and Design in 1995. Recent solo exhibitions have included the South Tipperary Arts Centre, The Hunt Museum, Limerick, The Fenton Gallery, Cork and Kevin Kavanagh Gallery Dublin.
