RHA Friends view MH & C Art
On Saturday 28th of March, MH & C welcomed over 30 Friends of the RHA (The Royal Hibernian Academy is an artist based and artist orientated institution dedicated to developing, affirming and challenging the public's appreciation and understanding of traditional and innovative approaches to the visual arts. The Academy achieves its objectives through its exhibition education and collection programmes) to view its art collection at South Bank House. Declan Moylan, Chairman, Mason Hayes & Curran played host to the tour and gave a presentation on a cross section of the firm’s art collection.
The day of exploration started at lower atrium level and progressed to the 6th and 7th floors of the building. The exhibited pieces at lower atrium started with the breathtaking 20ft high, Corban Wallker sculpture which was specially commissioned for the firm’s offices. Other pieces included Porcus VIII by John Boyd, July 1 by Bridget Riley, Inis Meain by Sean Scully and many more, including our most recently acquired piece the challenging Point Five Heavy Machine Gun by Blaise Smith.
The day had a surprise element which included an impromptu visit from a Wicklow artist Clifton Rooney who presented a selection of his recently completed paintings to our guests. Clifton explained his thought process and inspiration when creating his paintings and his reasons for incorporating various symbols in his works.
The day proved to be an enjoyable journey for the attendees who continued on to a studio visit, following their time in MH & C.
For more information on MH & C’s involvement in the arts please contact Declan Moylan, Chairman, Mason Hayes & Curran.
