Trinity Gallery Dublin presents Kingerlee at 90 by John Kingerlee, an exhibition celebrating the artist’s 90th year – alongside the release of his new book, Heads, by acclaimed author Jonathan Benington.
Opening 15th October, the exhibition brings together original works spanning the last five years of his practice, mostly completed within his 90th year.
Heads is the third book dedicated to Kingerlee’s work and will focus exclusively on his head paintings while bringing together 90 works ranging from 1962 to 2026.
He says, “Paintings are like wild horses in a sense for me. I want my wild horses roaming the prairie in the uplands free. I don’t want them fenced around into small fields and that’s what you’re doing if you surround a painting with rationality.”
The exhibition will run from the 15th – 30th of October at Trinity Gallery, 19 Clare St, D2.
