Rosemary Fallon NDip. B.A. M.Sc. professional artist / Painter and Sculpture
I have been practising art since 1993. My Diploma and Degree was in Fine Art Painting, my Masters in Multimedia. I work from a private studio and run a successful Art School and Gallery in Co. Galway. of media that surrounds us in every day life. The scenarios I create establishes a dream-like surreal quality. They suggest notions of calmness, safety and one hand upset and discomfort. In my paintings I recontextualising the already established repertoire of visual culture, I create symbolic reality as opposed to virtual reality. These paintings have deep roots within my own existence and aim to appeal to the imagination through the use of oil on canvas. By dealing with emotions and beauty I provoke the viewer to feel what the character may be feeling. In a personal level each painting holds hidden storyline and clues to my own existence arranging them into new conceptually layered pieces. Although these are hidden in plain sight they remain allusive to the viewer as they are founded in my own dreams and experiences. It is true to say I pour my heart and soul into my work. Every object and element tells a story and combined together they play a part in a much larger storyline. They in effect the my key to the secret garden, my way down the rabbit hole, my looking glass.
know exactly what the work will look like. On completion it feels like meeting an old friend, as if they have always been there. I feel a great empathy with the characters as I paint them which then in turn alters my own emotional state of mind. Over the years I have use a variety of materials and processes in my work but thorough the methodology is consistent. During the research period new areas of interest arise and help lead to the next body of work. My Paintings - 2010 to 2013 These paintings aim to appeal to the imagination by dealing with emotions and beauty provoking the viewer to feel through association. I use exaggerated proportions to depict a sense of isolation and detachment from their surroundings and the discourse they contrast with their environments with their awkward poses and uneasy, pensive expressions. Custom Doll & Box 2012 to 2013 These custom dolls and boxes are the part 1 of large project. The theme of this exhibition is to marrysculpture. These custom dolls come with there own individual sculpture environments / diorama. Thus blurring the line between high art and low art. My inspiration for this show is my love of dolls and all things beautiful. Miniature Metal Sculpture - 2010 In memory of my Dad: Most of the objects used were from his work shop from his life time of junk collecting. The old brass was originally used to decorate our home as a child and were collected Dad when he lived in England before I was born. Other objects came from the messy drawer in our home kitchen and others came from different periods of my life. The dead things were found or gifted to me. So in summarise these sculptures are clusters strong memories.”
