Ad Astra
NOV 26 – DEC 10 2022
Artist: Peter Burns
Peter Burns is a Dublin born artist now living in Mayo and currently showing in a solo show, Ad astra in Claremorris Gallery.
On the last day of his current exhibition, Sat Dec 1st, from 3 – 5pm, he will be talking about his work in conversation with Rosemarie Noone of Claremorris Gallery. Refreshments will be served, admission is free and all are welcome to attend.
"Burns' sculpture and paintings have a medieval quality of myth telling, they're charmingly painted with a long low note of apocalyptic despair."
Peter has shown at Claremorris Gallery since he was a student. Over the past ten years he has established himself as one of the most important painters of his generation of artists in Ireland, having entered the international stage, now showing extensively in London, New York & Miami with Gibbons and Nicholas, as well as participating in a number of exhibitions in New York and London galleries.

Wayfarer is an at times lurid phantasmagoria of the artist’s internal life; an endless source of solace, pleasure, and stimulation.
Burns has been featured in Wall Street International Magazine, The Sunday Times and ArtForum. He is a recent recipient of the Pollock Krasner Foundation Grant. He was awarded a BA in Sculpture and MFA in Painting from The National College of Art & Design, Dublin. He lives and works in Co. Mayo.
