About The Artwork
“And it is not particular at all, just old truth dawning: there is no next-time-round. Unroofed scope. Knowledge-freshening wind” Excerpt from Lightenings, by Seamus Heaney This painting is a refracted image, broken down by individual brushstrokes, of an old gasworks in the UK. The prominent towers reach to the sky, as Heaney says “unroofed scope”; there is a power in that magnitude, that framing of wind and air, housing nothing but sky. I love the idea that the blocky brushwork and pointillism of the layers of ochres and blues build this architectural beauty out of nothing. Oils on Canvas 160cm high x 160cm high x 5cm deep

"What Sweeney has vividly evoked is its maker's desire to create a mark in public, to make something imperfect and thus unique. In this and many of these works, Sweeney's aesthetic is a raw one of the scrap yard, and at moments - the gutter" Jean Tormey, Curator, Tate Modern, London. Tracy Sweeney is an artist from Ireland. Her dynamic paintings have won major awards including the prestigious Pollock Krasner Award in New York. Sweeney's numerous international exhibitions have been met with much acclaim, particularly her exhibition "Station/Wall" in Grafiska Sallskapet Galleri, Stockholm; her work in the Paris Biennale 109 and a major group exhibition; "˜Grafiktriennalen', opened by King Carl Gustaf of Sweden in Stockholm, Sweden. Tracy Sweeney's paintings are held in major collections, galleries & museums throughout Ireland, Europe & the US. She is represented by Grafiska Sallskapet, & Galleri Ingela S, Stockholm, Sweden.
