Press Release

‘Drawn to the ancient concept of genius loci - the spirit of a place - and the profound energy of the Burren, the rugged and mystical region on Ireland’s west coast where I live and create, my paintings become a conduit for a deeper connection with nature. As I paint, the veil between the seen and unseen seems to thin, revealing a profound interconnectedness between consciousness, reality, and the land itself. Magritte often depicted objects in unexpected settings. Was he just being playful, or was he hinting at a deeper reality, where things aren’t quite as they seem? “The Living Mountain,” takes a similar approach, not through dreamlike juxtapositions, but by delving into the soul of the landscape.’– Richard Hearns.

About the Artist

Richard Hearns paints in the wild landscape of The Burren Country National Park in County Clare, Ireland. Each painting is an extension of his physical surroundings–earth, sea and sky–materialising the artist’s experiences and memories of colour and natural phenomena. Born in Beirut and raised in Ireland, Hearns is deeply aware of the unique cultural backgrounds of both aspects of his heritage. Articulated in his abstract paintings, his experiences and connections with the traditions of these separate locations and cultures combine to form a triangular history. He endeavours to express his understandings of exploration, discovery and identity through the medium of paint.
