New exhibition from Arja Sweeney

Renzo Café to host new work by Finnish painter

SPIRIT OF Nature II - Beauty of Life, the second solo exhibition by Galway based artist Arja Sweeney, opens in the Renzo’s Cafe, Eyre Street, next week.

Originally from Finland and now living in Athenry, Arja’s works are an earthy mix of heavy watercolours combined with Indian inks, acrylics, egg tempera, and oil.

“Many of my paintings are from the forests around Athenry and the fabulous Derrydonnell forest, although we have lost many of its characteristic pine trees,” explains the artist of her latest works. “The palette changes with seasons and the nature can be seen in colours of pink, purple and yellow.”

The exhibition runs from Monday January 19 until March 8. The official opening is Friday 23 at 8pm.
