Lot description

Gwen O'Dowd (b.1957) Cladach 58 (2005) oil on canvas signed, titled and dated '05 verso h:150  w:120 cm. Provenance: Vangard Gallery, Cork where purchased by the present owner A highly regarded landscape painter, Gwen O'Dowd's work has from the beginning focused on the sea and especially on the meeting of water and shoreline. There's more than an echo of the sublime in her majestic vision of nature as the domain of vast, elemental forces. She invariably works in series, and each series is usually linked to a particular motif or feature. She made her Cladach series from 2004 to 2006. Often her titles are in Irish, as here, with Cladach translating as shore, captured as a wave bursts explosively against the land. Aidan Dunne, March 2020
