Lisa Ballard Exhibition
Opening Night Thursday 17th May from 7 - 9pm
'I am drawn to the temporal in the landscape, experiences such as the constantly changing light, the seasons, waiting for a grey sky to clear or the fleeting light of dawn and twilight. I try to capture how it is to be in that moment and place.
I am obsessed with colour and light, in particular the juxtaposition of colours, how colours affect and influence one another. I use the landscape around me to explore this, looking to colourful tree blossom, twilight skies, and dark storms with light breaking through. I look through the landscape, simplifying the image, exploring the negative space, searching for what I can use in my painting. I often lean towards abstraction, but try to hold on to the figurative elements.
The practice and the process of actually making the painting is important to me. I love to use painterly brush marks. I put down a colour and respond to it, layer by layer. Incorporating washes, flat spray paint and scratches to allow the painting to evolve and always struggling to find balance in the finished work. Lisa Ballard, May 2012
About The Gallery
Mullan gallery is an Irish Art Gallery based on the Lisburn Road, Belfast, Northern Ireland . It is dedicated to working in partnership with artists to promote their work. We present a series of mainly Irish Art exhibitions throughout the year featuring leading and emerging artists from Ireland, both north and south, and continue our work of exhibiting artists from further afield.
This website is updated on a daily basis (well almost!). It provides information & images on artists, their work & the various exhibitions which we run on a regular basis. It acts as an alternative viewing platform and is a good way for us to keep you up-to-date but please visit the gallery or ring for additional information and advice.
If you register with the gallery you can expect approx: nine emails a year informing you about future exhibitions. We will of course, at your request, keep you informed of specific artists' work.. All information is confidential and will never be given to a third party.
