Gallagher works in the tradition of intuitive action painting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her work is immune to cultural assimilation and current trends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The artist acknowledges that her art exists on the outer fringes of today\u2019s assimilated official culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What appears simple at first glance reveals a remarkable complexity upon closer examination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Paint is applied to large canvases in a primitive and intuitive fashion. Paintings often don\u2019t have a centre, instead, attention is given to the entire canvas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Colour and atmosphere are more important than clearly defined themes or motives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The artist deliberately abandons rationality and allows the primal subconscious to influence her work, thereby inviting the audience to engage with her work intuitively rather than rationally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>An introduction to Sinead Gallagher&#8217;s work by poet &amp; director M.A. Littler:&nbsp;<br><br>In the present<br>A corner bar<br>Is being demolished<br>To make way for another stainless steel bistro<br>With halogen lighting<br>The museums are filled with empty canvases<br>3 x 4 meters concept Art<br>You will find installations that confuse the cleaning personnel, is this art or garbage?&nbsp;<br>In the present<br>Surfaces are being polished<br>Whatever rusts must be destroyed<br>Chance must be eradicated<br>It\u2019s about control<br>Music must be pretty, clean<br>And Art must blend in with the furniture <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>This Art Is a punch in the face of the present<br>This art is raw unpolished, and elemental<\/strong>,<strong> it rusts<br>Beauty is sought in decay<br>Decay is sought in beauty<br>Chance is invited<br>Rust is appreciated<br>Cracks are everywhere<br>Control is not desired&nbsp;<br>Jazz improvises<br>Here you&#8217;ll find improvisation<br>Blues suffers<br>Here you&#8217;ll find suffering<br>Rock n&#8216; Roll rages<br>Here you&#8217;ll find rage&nbsp;<br>This Art is not the Art of the present<br>This art is not Nostalgic<br>It is the art of the future<br>For the wave will come<br>And it will wash away<br>The stainless steel Bistros<br>And the conceptual Art<br>All that will Remain<br>Will be the elemental<br>All that will remain<br>Will be the rust.<br><br>In der Gegenwart wird eine Eckkneipe abgerissen<br>Um Platz zu schaffen, f\u00fcr ein weiteres Edelstahlbistro mit Halogenleuchtern<br>In den Museen h\u00e4ngen unbemalte Leinw\u00e4nde<br>3 auf 4 Meter Konzeptkunst <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Man findet Installationen, die das Reinigungspersonal verwirren,<\/strong><br><strong>Handelt es sich um Kunst oder M\u00fcll?<\/strong>&nbsp;<br><strong>In der Gegenwart werden Oberfl\u00e4chen poliert&nbsp;<\/strong><br><strong>Was rostet, wird entsorgt<\/strong><br><strong>den Zufall versucht man auszuschalten<\/strong><br><strong>Es geht um Kontrolle,<\/strong>&nbsp;<br><strong>Musik muss sch\u00f6n sein glatt<\/strong><br><strong>Und Kunst muss zu den M\u00f6beln passen.<\/strong>&nbsp;<br><strong>Die hier ausgestellte Kunst ist ein Schlag ins Gesicht der Gegenwart.<\/strong><br><strong>Sie ist roh, unpoliert, sie ist elementar, sie rostet.<\/strong>&nbsp;<br><strong>Im H\u00e4sslichen wird das Sch\u00f6ne gesucht, im Sch\u00f6nen das H\u00e4ssliche<\/strong><br><strong>Der Zufall wird eingeladen, Rost wird gesch\u00e4tzt<\/strong><br><strong>Risse sind \u00fcberall<\/strong><br><strong>Kontrolle ist nicht erw\u00fcnscht<\/strong>&nbsp;<br><strong>Der Jazz improvisiert<\/strong><br><strong>Hier wird improvisiert<\/strong><br><strong>Der Blues leidet<\/strong><br><strong>Hier wird gelitten<\/strong><br><strong>Der Rock &#8217;n&#8216; Roll w\u00fctet<\/strong><br><strong>Hier wird gew\u00fctet.<\/strong>&nbsp;<br><strong>Diese Kunst ist nicht die Kunst der Gegenwart<\/strong><br><strong>Diese Kunst ist nicht nostalgisches<\/strong><br><strong>Ist die Kunst der Zukunft<\/strong><br><strong>Denn die Welle wird kommen,<\/strong><br><strong>Und, mit sich nehmen wird sie die Edelstahlbistros und Konzeptkunst<\/strong><br><strong>\u00dcbrig bleiben wird das Elementare<\/strong><br><strong>\u00dcbrig bleiben wird der Rost<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sinead M.
