The sea is one of Donald Teskey’s principal subjects and Art First is delighted to present a group of the breath-taking paintings that emerged from his Western Cape Residency in South Africa during February 2019. They are shown in this exhibition alongside his more familiar scenes of the Atlantic ocean crashing onto the rocks on Ireland’s West Coast in Co Mayo, where Teskey has enjoyed many concentrated residencies over the years.
Closer to home and his Dublin studio is the River Dodder, with currents of a very different kind from those hosted by the great Atlantic Ocean. This group of riverbank paintings is redolent with leafy summer growth and the gentle ebb and flow of water levels nudged by the river’s currents.
