Having grown up along the wild and dramatic west coast of Ireland, Ivan McMahon has held a lifelong love and fascination with the landscape of this exposed and rugged part of the world.
Exploring the transcendent terrain of Inis Oírr, sculpted as it is by the dynamic North Atlantic, Ivan studies its tones and textures in a bid to glean an impression of its fundamental energy, that which conjures fleeting glimpses of dieties, mythical giants and tragic heros of a near forgotten time.
Ivan McMahon’s photographic exhibition, A Reflection, opens at Aras Éanna on Friday 1st September 2017 at 8pm and runs for one month.
