Coffee, Cakes and Country air is an exciting first showing of new work by Deborah Donnelly. The exhibition will take place at the Bad Art Gallery on Thursday, January 28th between 6 – 8pm with special guest Brenda Fricker, opening the exhibit.

Deborah Donnelly has been painting professionally for fifteen years and has held numerous exhibitions throughout the world including New York, Marbella, Germany and London. Deborah’s work has featured in many private collections of Pat Kenny, Louis Walsh, Gary Rhodes, Grainne Seoige and Robbie Williams, to name but a few.

This is one special exhibition not to be missed!

“Over fifteen years ago, was the first time I introduced one of my cow paintings to the public, and it was an experience that I can remember vividly. Immediately the public had taken affection to my docile creatures. The buzz and energy of that period in my life was overwhelming. While exhibiting at one particular group show, I can recall my paintings been surrounded by young children, where I overheard a parent saying “If you get lost I’ll meet you at the cows!” The cows will always be known as my trademark paintings, and with its success, has helped me progress, and inspire me to continue to do what I love to do. However, I have since elaborated on my work, moving away from bovines, and towards working with landscape, making more use of colour. Colour - This is the composition of what my work is all about. I feel very passionate about this show, as it offers me the opportunity of displaying another style of work that I have been actively working on for the previous two years. Landscapes allow me to fully utilize the use of vibrant colours, to give an impression of warmth, energy and enthusiasm. This exhibit will provide an insight, visually describing what my work really entails and I am quietly confident in believing that this is one of the greatest shows that I have created in my career to date. I hope this show will illuminate the use of colours that I have grown to love working with. I conclude with a favourite quote of mine taken from The Jungle Book, ‘‘If you’re going to be blue….be bright blue”.
