New artist ‘Bergy’ and the shadowy effects of light
May 18, 2010 by Quigley · Leave a Comment
Cristus welcomes Paul Bergin to its summer season. The style is unashamedly impressionistic, with Cezanne cited as Paul’s main influence, but with clear references to Monet and Sisley evident too. The paintings are vibrant and immediate, but the opaqueness of Paul’s style gives the sense of landscapes that are transient, obscured by glare or fading in the evening light. The effect is romantic and evocative, rather than documentary, oweing much to Paul’s love of Turner’s big skies.
Paul Bergin (’Bergy’) will be exhibiting at the gallery throughout the summer.
