“I’ve been pulled to islands since I did work in Malta in the late 1980s,” Reaney says, referring to a group of local artists including Brenda Fitzsimons, John Behan and Vicky Crowley, who visited Malta as part of the group Island Connection.

This body of work takes us on a visual European island-hop and comes from this work initiated in the 1980s, derived and developed from the artist’s repository of sketchbooks and studies.

We enjoy the artist’s continuing fascination with Island life and this collection follows his critically acclaimed Inis Áirc Project, which was exhibited in Galway 2018.

The artist wishes to express his sincere thanks to The Heinrich Boll Cottage, Achill Island, Merril Hammer for Inishbofin Photos and to Mayo Arts Office. “This exhibition is dedicated to the late Dr. Paul Haworth, an ever dear friend.” PR

The exhibition was officially opened by poet Joan McBreen. Please visit our YouTube channel or social media to view.
