This retrospective is a celebration of Donal O’Sullivan’s life's work. He was born in Ranelagh and lived most of his life here. Donal was a seminal figure in the artistic life of his native city from the late sixties until his death. His work was held in high regard, as evidenced by the work presented here, donated by his many patrons, family and friends.

Hasan Fuat Sari was born in 1953 in Tarsus, Turkey. Since 1980, he has lived and worked in Turku, Finland.

As an artist, Sari often shifts between two worlds - from two dimensional to three dimensional and vice versa. He paints and sculpts often mixing the boundaries of the two mediums. Many of his assemblages include familiar elements, such as bicycle parts, which are used in a witty way.

Playfulness and humour, as well as deeper meanings, belong as an essential part of Sari’s art.

Sari has exhibited since 1977 and has had numerous exhibitions all over Europe. His works are included in several collections such as State Painting & Sculputure Museum Ankara-Turkey, Waino Aaltonon Museum - Finland and private collections.


Suleima Rintala is a Finnish artist living in Ranelagh since 1998. This is her second Dublin exhibition, entitled 'Access'.
Her new collection of paintings is brilliantly multicoloured. The paintings depict dreamy landscapes in a subtle abstract style.
