Clement McAteer – Pop-up Exhibition at Golden Thread Gallery

Take a peek into the Golden Thread Gallery Collection this Late Night Art with a pop up exhibition in the Lower Gallery by Belfast artist Clement McAleer. 

McAleer is known for his landscape oil paintings. His paintings focus mainly on landscape, not on specific places but on the changing, restless qualities of nature. Clouds, water, land, and sea shift into one another, creating a strong sense of atmosphere. The Irish coast is a major influence, and memories of it are always present in the studio. Travel in Europe and America has also inspired many works, especially a series of railway paintings from Italy, Germany, and the Netherlands. In these, structure becomes more important. Sometimes a visible grid is used and then softened or hidden, helping the painting move between abstraction and the feeling of actually being there.

Enjoy a guided tour with Clement and Amanda Croft on Friday 6th February at 1pm.
