It has been almost two years since we had our first solo exhibition in the gallery with Eamon O'Kane. This time he shows a wider palette, paintings in various formats, drawings, and sculptures.
The exhibition makes up an aesthetic whole as well as an academic investigation and emotional processing of modernism's visual expression and cultural content. O'Kane's artistry dwells upon modernism as a lost, magical and mysterious universe and era.
The exhibition includes striking new paintings of Eileen Gray’s E-1027, Lina Bo Bardi’s Casa Bo Bardi, Walter Gropius’s office, and the Los Angeles residence of writer Thomas Mann. Each architectural subject is reimagined through O’Kane’s distinctive lens, revealing both the cultural resonance of these spaces and their poetic potential.
Alongside these works, the exhibition features vibrant, meditative paintings of trees—a recurring motif in O’Kane’s practice that speaks to time, memory, and environmental consciousness. These botanical studies form a quiet counterpoint to the modernist structures, bridging the organic and the constructed.
Eamon O’Kane is an internationally exhibited artist and professor based in Norway and Denmark. His work has been shown at institutions and galleries across Europe and North America, and he is widely recognized for his multifaceted explorations of architecture, ecology, memory, and pedagogy.
