le cool issue *175

The Paradise


The Douglas Hyde has become a gallery I regularly visit whilst never having been to a single opening it has hosted. This is a compliment. There are many galleries I have only ever been to for free wine of a Thursday. Here, the smaller space off the main downstairs area is where I find less 'art world' artists and more personable pieces. Not quite the current case as Andrew Vickery is described in the blurb as someone who'se served on the Gallery's Board, but the work remains charming. The room is propped with a curtained divide, row of chairs and a small theatre set with various backgrounds of Vickery's scenic paintings that act as backdrops. You have entered a miniature auditorium. You can sit and consider the artist's talent or imagine little people walking across the mountains or by rivers or you can even stand behind the set and make shadow puppets.
