Exert from a Notebook, Ciarán Lennon
Lennon’s paintings on aluminum are a particular synthesis of American Minimalism with its insistence on the materiality of the painted object and European Arte Povera, which licensed the associative quality of materials. Lennon’s recent work on which this exhibition concentrates, comprises of painted objects that arise from an interaction between artist, natural law and material qualities.
