A Wave from the Hill, a solo exhibition by Teskey, is running at Claremorris Gallery until April 19, after being opened by Gleeson, who's no stranger to Mayo having filmed the acclaimed Banshees of Inisherin in Achill.
This captivating show brings together a collection of Teskey’s latest works, featuring an evocative mix of coastal scenes and riverscapes that explores the beauty and raw power of the Irish landscape.
Known for his masterful command of texture and light, Teskey’s paintings capture the shifting moods of water, sky and land. A Wave from the Hill showcases a dynamic range of works on both canvas and paper, varying in scale from intimate studies to large-scale immersive compositions on canvas.
Donald Teskey, whose career spans several decades, is widely recognised for his distinctive approach to landscape painting. His work has been exhibited extensively in Ireland and internationally and is held in major public and private collections.
A Wave from the Hill is an opportunity to experience and acquire Teskey’s latest interpretations of Ireland’s coastal and riverine landscapes, offering both longtime admirers and new audiences a chance to engage with his powerful, meditative paintings.
A Wave from the Hill will be on view until April 19. For more information, visit Claremorris Gallery’s website.
