"The Witching Hour" , a solo exhibition from Margo Banks at the Greenlane Gallery DIngle Co Kerry from 18th June 2022. See images below.
In Margo's work we see her love for the wildlife of Kerry. Using contemporary art methods she depicts what she has seen in the Kerry mountains since she was a child. From images of hares jousting, and crows surveying, to wasps congregating, Margo captures the wonders of nature as she experiences them.
In a recent piece reviewing Margo's work Niall MacMonagle, in the Irish Independent, describes her work as painting is to live the dream. Kerry sheep, bumble bees, seagulls... and first, catch your hare. That she's done. Right here. You can read his piece here which reviews a recent work entitled "Chasing the Wind II" shown below.
