Culture Night – Painting Demo & talk.

Rod Coyne invites you to his painting demonstration and talk based on his latest experimental work “Rod Sees Red”. During 2017 Rod has replaced all the greens of the landscape with a vivid palette of reds. The results are equally exciting and other worldly. This Friday you can see Rod slither out onto the thin ice once more as he attempts for the first time to apply the red-format to still life painting. All are welcome between 5.30 – 7pm to this informal and fun event, admission is free.

#RodSeesRed

“Recently I decided to introduce radical amounts of red into my landscapes regardless if they were there or not. First off I swapped the greens of the landscape for a tonally similar palette of reds. Then I started replacing the blues of the sea and sky with a palette of reds. Looking at the two versions I saw instantly that the second option still looked realistic, just as if painted at sunrise or sunset. But where the land was red that took on a completely other worldly feel.
Culture Night will be a first, when I attempt to apply these landscape rules to a still life. Please join me for this live painting demonstration and chat. “
