Daichead

Gearóid Ó Duinnín

Is é ‘Daichead’ taispeántas de 40 péinteáil chomhaimseartha de chuid an ealaíontóra Gearóid Ó Duinnín, a rugadh i gCúil Aodha. Tagann Gearóid, mac Siobhán agus Seán Ó Duinnín, beannacht Dé lena anam, ó theaghlach fíorcheolmhar, agus is amhránaí agus ceoltóir gaoiseach é chomh maith.

B’fhéidir go síltear go bhfuil an t-uafás ábhar i ndaichead ach tá sé níos suimiúla fós nuair a deirtear nár thosaigh Gearóid ag péinteáil ach dhá bhliain ó shin.
“Fuaireas olaphéinteanna agus canbhás mar bhronntanas lae breithe. Ní maith liom aon rud a chur amú agus dá bharr sin thosaíos ag péinteáil. Mhothaigh an phéint ar chanbhás go hiontach. Tháinig próifíl taoibhe de m’athair (a bhí ag fáil bháis le hailse ag an am) amach tríd an bpéint i mo thríú chanbhás... ní raibh míniúchán dá laghad agam ar an áit as a dtáinig sé ag an am.”

Tá Gearóid i mbun péinteála, taispeántais agus díola go fairsing ó shin, le híomhá i ndiaidh íomhá á léiriú ar réimse fíor dhaite de shaothar ealaíne.

Osclóidh an t-amhránaí/ceoltóir Seán Garvey a taispeántas san Ionad Cultúrtha ar an Déardaoin, 9ú Meán Fómhair ar a 7.30i.n.
Leanfaidh an taispeántas ar aghaidh go dtí an 19ú Deireadh Fómhair.

 'Daichead' is an exhibition of 40 contemporary paintings by Coolea born artist Gearóid Ó Duinnín. Gearóid, son of Siobhan & Sean Ó Duinnin, RIP, comes from a very musical family, and is an accomplished singer and musician.

Forty might seem like a lot but it is even more interesting when you find out that Gearóid only took up painting two years ago.
"I received a gift of oil paints and canvas for my birthday.  I don't like to waste anything so, I started to paint. The act of paint on canvas felt great. A side profile of my father (who was dying of cancer at the time) came out through the paint on my third canvas... I had no explanation where it came from at the time."Gearóid has been painting, exhibiting and selling in volume ever since, with image upon image appearing in a very colorful body of artwork.

'Daichead' will be opened in the Ionad Cultúrtha on Thursday 9th September at 7.30 by singer & musician Seán Garvey.
The exhibition continues until October 19th.
