Wandering Star - Mark Joyce

Wandering Star, a solo show by Mark Joyce, 11 april - 15 may 2026, at the Green On Red Gallery.

In the final week of Mark Joyce's Wandering Star exhibition, on Wednesday, 13th May at 7:00 pm, composer Fergal Dowling and guitarist Shane Latimer presented a live musical event as a response to the artist's acrylic on raw linen paintings. This has been the second occasion composer Fergal Dowling has done so.

Wandering Star is a reference to the physics of light and celestial mechanics, and also a nod to an artistic journey over the decades through the indeterminacy of painting. Joyce uses an arc motif, an elemental unit of human invention and expression, with oblique reference to early human structures, manuscripts and notations, or, as the artist likes to say, ‘stuff holding stuff up’. From a rhythmic and mechanical foundation, a bending of the light, familiar, like the Rings of Saturn, or the passing lights on the nearby orbital motorway, errors accumulate, an entropic unspooling, fragmenting towards chaos and disorder.

'In Conversation' - Oisín Tozer and Niamh Darling

On Saturday 13 June, 1-2pm Oisin Tozer will be In Conversation with Niamh Darling to talk and walk through Breathing in the Dark, Tozer's first solo exhibition at Green On Red Gallery.

"In all, the exhibition is a lesson in not taking things at face value. Things that seem definite on first glance are revealed as a complex constellations of meaning and non-meaning. The initial directness of the work, the quality that unnerved me, gives way to a fragile line of inquiry. In Oisin's work, I recognise my own compulsion to try and understand something correctly, to find its true meaning. This is a compulsion the work invites, while interrogating the epistemological frameworks that we take for granted. The split ends of Tozer's grass braids, the wood shavings littered on the floor, knowingly evoke a slow unravelling of the very idea of certanity; we are plunged into the glitching dephts of the unknown."
