Gallery Zozimus, Francis St., Dublin
Opens at 6.00 pm SHARP on Wednesday, May 5th.
The exhibition will be opened by Ryan Tubridy.
Described by the Irish Times as “An institution in Dublin for thirty years”, Tom Mathews (born 1952) is well over four feet tall. His Cupid`s bow legs and long flaming red nose have made him a legend from one end of Ireland to slightly beyond the same end.
When not drinking stout and boring everyone to tears about Groucho Marx and James Joyce, he is busy at his easel or desk.
“Achievements” to date include:
“Levon”: A novel, 1984
Three collections of cartoons
Criticism (Theatre, Books, Rock music)
Thirty one man exhibitions (cartoons)
Two serious exhibitions
Tom has exhibited at the Living Art Exhibition, National Portrait Show, RHA.
His book “Keats and Chapman” (a collection of improbable tales) was published by New Island Books in October 2008. His collected verse was published in 2009.
His Artoons appear every Saturday in the Irish Times.
Annie West (born 1961) spent ten years working in film and TV. She worked in RTE, Tyne Tees TV, Little Bird Films, Channel Four, BBC, Strongbow Films, and Palace Pictures until, in 1998, she began her career as a full time Illustrator and cartoonist.
She is neither tall nor willowy.
Annie has illustrated over a dozen children`s books, two of which she also Authored, and has designed album covers for The Waterboys, Sharon Shannon and many more.
Well known in Literary circles as the “Person responsible for Those Yeats Cartoons”, Annie has been exhibiting her Limited Edition Fine Art prints since 2006. She has had several sold out solo shows in Sligo, Dublin and Galway. She has the dubious qualification of having made a man die laughing at one of her Yeats cartoons.
Annie also works to commission and an Annie West Special is fast becoming a prized possession among discerning art lovers. Her hilarious, smart yet decidedly affordable one-off illustrations are in great demand and her commissioned work can be found in the collections of Brad Pitt, Mick Galwey, Former U.S. Ambassador Tom Foley, The Waterboys, Paul Carson, Horslips, Sharon Shannon, Michael D. Higgins, Neil Jordan, Anthony Foley, Shane Byrne, Senator David Norris and Tom Cruise among many others.
Prepare to be amused.

West Essex Street in Temple Bar will be transformed by Eoin Llewellyn’s ‘The Light of Dusk’.
From 25 June to 7 July, the latest photographs from this award-winning artist will be displayed. The thought-provoking ‘The Light of Dusk’ is a comment on the existence of camps such as Guantanamo Bay, and the emotional experiences of those held there.
The exhibition, presented by Spiderfish, references the works of Beckett and asks perhaps uncomfortable, existential questions of presence and existence.
Eoin Llewellyn’s work has been displayed extensively throughout Ireland and he has won many awards. These include the Tony O’Malley Award and the Taylor Art Award. He has also been short listed for the AIB Award and Victor Tracey Award.
‘The Light of Dusk’ is part of a new project by Spiderfish that aims to reanimate unused areas of the city.
As part of Spiderfish, Mick Kelly helped gain permission from the owner of the building where the exhibition is taking place.
Spiderfish and Eoin Llewellyn breathed life into this otherwise dormant shop unit, fulfilling their aim of providing a platform upon which the creative can display their work.

Cennino Cennini said that painting called for imagination.
The great theoreticians of painting have always acknowledged that however much painting may appear as a celebration of the real world, its true significance lies in the access it affords to the world of our imaginations. Painting can form a bridge between these worlds, and embody something not entirely real. Jorgensen Fine Art arranges an exhibition displaying a large selection of fantastic paintings by 19th and 20th century Irish and European great artists which will last till 31st of this year. So, make a plan to trip to the Jorgensen Fine Art, 29 Molesworth Street, Dublin 2, Ireland to feel the world of imaginations.
