Ink & Imagination Exhibition
Emyvale artist Nelius Flynn is delighted to be returning to the Emyvale Leisure Centre,
where he held his very first public Art Exhibition back in 1987. He is taking part in the
Age & Opportunity Bealtaine Festival 2024 by hosting Ink & Imagination, an age
friendly Art Exhibition and Tea Day over the May Bank Holiday Weekend.
On display this time will be an intriguing collection of both new and older works from
his studio. Nelius is known for his drawings in fine liner pen, which he colours with
watercolor pencils, and often highlights with gouache paint for a richer effect.
Having grown up on the scenic shores of the Garavogue River and Lough Gill in County
Sligo, Nelius remains fascinated by the seasons and inspired by nature. While land and
seascapes are a constant source of material for him he also does architectural studies,
floral drawings and nostalgic vintage scenes. There will be some special drawings of
local interest in this exhibition.
A striking selection of Chinese themed drawings will be a notable feature of the
exhibition. These colourful pictures Nelius specially researched and completed for his
“Building Bridges” exhibition, part of the Dublin Lunar Festival 2022. A limited number
of unframed Chinese prints and large banners will be for sale.
To properly celebrate Bealtaine there will be a party atmosphere all weekend with tea,
coffee and snacks served throughout. Donations in aid of the Alzheimer Society will be
very welcome. Visitors with mobility issues can park right outside and the event is
dementia friendly. Families are very welcome.
Nelius will be on hand all weekend and happy to discuss his work or new ideas for
commissions with visitors. The event is free and will be open from Saturday, May 4th,
11am-7.45pm and Sunday, May 5th, 11am-6pm in the Emyvale Leisure Centre, Main
Street, Emyvale. Phone Nelius on 087 9666201 for further details.
