Marc Bohne has visited Ireland for extended stays for the last two decades, deepening his affinity for Ireland and its rugged and beautiful landscape and to explore his own Irish roots. This exhibition is largely the result of two awarded artist residencies.
The first was a fellowship at the Ballinglen Foundation, in the town of Ballycastle, on the south shore of the Bay of Donegal, County Mayo. The second was the 2011 Clare Short Ireland Residency awarded by Artist Trust through the generosity of Rob Short and Emer Dooley, and was spent in Kilcrohane, County Cork. The exhibition presents a unified body of work, as the whole of the conversation with the place and time, and associated deep personal meaning. Marc sees the whole of his painting as conversations with places, rather than documentation, and these are those conversations.
Donation to Artist Trust
Marc is grateful for the support he has received from Artist Trust and will donate proceeds from the sale of Down Toward Bantry Bay directly to Artist Trust. Read more about Marc's Ireland residency.
