The Doorway Gallery

Dublin
The Doorway Gallery is doing well for me and keeping me very busy. The 2 above, Donegal 1 & 2, are to be framed together for a customer as a large diptych
These 2 x 60cm panels, ‘mountains and bogroads’ went to Dublin by courier last week
The 4 panels above, ‘Skylight 1& 2’, each 90cm sq and ‘October 1& 2’ each 80cm sq went down by courier yesterday
The group show, ‘Hidden’, which I have 2 pieces in, runs till 29th October, followed by Christsy Keeney’s solo show till mid November. Then there’s the wonderful Christmas exhibition.
Even during solo shows, my work and other gallery artists work is available in the downstairs gallery. Open Monday to Saturday 10- 6

This is a mixed media piece( oil and cold wax) on cradled wooden panel 50cm square
6 new works with wax
where from and where to now
2 panels 40 x 60 cm
straits and absorbing
2 panels 40 cm square
4 leaves and territories
2 panels 50cm square
Liz Doyle is building a new collection of abstract works in oils and cold wax medium on wooden panels
The panels are the highest quality from Milliken Bros
The wax is Gamblin wax from T Lawrence in the UK imported from USA
The oils are best quality with proven lightfastness, mostly from Gerstaeker in Germany
Liz also uses Sennelier oilbars
Liz is working on themes to do with land, territory, migration, erosion and the environment. The layers of wax and oil are built up with a roller and palette knife. The layers are drawn on and scraped through with a knife revealing hidden colours and adding texture. The wiggly lines evoke ancient migration routes and territorial boundary changes. Liz’s inspiration comes from her passion for her rugged home landscape in Donegal, Ireland and her extensive travels, most recently in the Himalayas in Nepal, in Italy and Portugal.
Liz Doyle is looking for galleries in Ireland, and any city galleries in Europe or USA who would like to be the first to show these new works
Please contact her in the first instance through this blog or by email on liz-doyle@live.com
