Profile of a regular guest at Ariel House - Patrick Palmer, Artist


Patrick Palmer's exhibition at the Tom Caldwell Gallery in Belfast opens on October 13th 2009. It is a big retrospective in honour of their gallery's 40th year in business, making it the oldest gallery in Ireland. Caldwell Gallery has represented some of the great Irish artists to date, including Colin Middleton, George Campbell, Tony O"Malley, Neil Shawcross etc...and their newest artist, Patrick! More than 40 artists featured will each be submitting one painting to show. The idea of a retrospective is quite interesting for all who embrace Irish art and will consequently enjoy the variety and selection covering so broad a spectrum of time; one will certainly appreciate not only the beauty of the paintings but enjoy observing the changes in styles and tastes.
We hope you and anyone who loves art will try to make it to Ariel House! All information is clearly spelled out below!
