Erin Lawlor's solo exhibiton "divining" is on view from 26 April to 15 Jun 2025 at Highlanes Gallery in Drogheda, Ireland.
"Erin Lawlor’s recent works explore more than ever before a sense of place. She has long embraced painting as a space of both projection and psychological construct, yet in concrete terms, working as she does horizontally and alla prima, the canvas itself becomes a ground, an immersive space of intensive labour. Each painting is a many-layered history ‘event’ in the becoming, but one which fundamentally requires an overall integrity in the final instance.
The title ‘divining’ refers to both a minute and essential geological reading, but also to an intuitive interpretation, and to notions of a (fantasised) ideal."
