The last series of paintings on a theme by Chris Gollon (1953 - 2017), inspired by the song 'Gimme Some Wine' that Eleanor McEvoy wrote for and dedicated to him, which is now the title track of her latest album.
About
“Music and painting are, in my view, as with all art genres, seeking the same truth.” Chris Gollon
In 2015, Eleanor McEvoy bought a painting by Chris Gollon, which started to inspire a whole album, and once she met Chris, they knew they had to collaborate in some way, but how?
In this exhibition we show a collection of 23 paintings by Chris Gollon, which were the climax of a two-year period of artistic boundary crossing with singer-songwriter Eleanor McEvoy. From 2015 – 2017, a very creative to-and-fro of images and lyrics took place, since they literally spoke to each other through their work, each taking the other’s art form to somewhere new. This collaboration is now the subject of an award-winning short documentary (see 'Viewing Room' on our gallery website).
