About the Item

Artist: Michelle Boyle (1967 - ) Title: The Boy and the Frozen Lake Medium: Oil on Panel Date: 2024 Framed Size: 57 x 67 x 3 cm Image Size: 50 x 60 cm In Michelles own words; 'This little boy and his dad are a local Banksy double act, they secretly make and then leave, home made fairy doors and bird boxes around my local forest.I met them at the frozen lake over winter and they told me about their move from Dublin and the freedom to be in nature which living in the countryside gave them' . Michelle Boyle has her studio base near Lough Ramor in Co Cavan Ireland and a developing base in Mumbai India where her birth father is from. She swims year round in her local lake and this immersion brings an energy and fluidity of process to a practice which includes painting, photography, installation and the written word. Art 1821 are delighted to be working with Michelle. Her work speaks of spaces between places, a world that is both grounded and dislocated through her connections with Ireland and India ‘Having lived in the area for over twenty years, Boyle is now experiencing her surroundings with new eyes. She swims year-round in Lough Ramor and now sees this as a performative collaboration with nature. While being conscious of the preciousness of freshwaters, she is giving this essential element — with which all life depends — a voice through her expressive liquidlike gestural paintings Patricia Watts Founder / Curator Ecoartspace ‘In our modern lives, we’re losing our connection to the land, we cement over it and try to control and tame the bits we allow to exist. We’re losing sight of how essential nature is to our very well-being. I feel this wonderful collection of paintings, is a call to stop for a moment and marvel at the beauty we still have out there. It’s a call to slow down and immerse ourselves in our waters, our woodlands, our mountains, our landscapes. Allow ourselves to be held by nature, allow ourselves to disappear into the majesty of it and as Michelle so eloquently put it, ‘see the whole world in one place’.
