Description
Strangford Village is a unique original painting by Kathryn Callaghan, exploring the magical view of the quaint Northern Irish coastal town. Featuring buildings dating from the 16th century, Strangford is an idyllic spot connected to the far side of the Lough by the ferry to and from Portaferry, and is depicted here with a sailboat bobbing gently in the harbour. Sparkling shades of bright blue mingle with fresh green in this piece, while pressings of genuine silver and gold attest to the rich history of the village.
Completed in a classic, locally-built black frame with a white wooden inner mount, Strangford Village will fit perfectly with any tastes.
What makes an original Strangford Village painting by Kathryn unique?
Kathryn uses a unique pouring technique to create her paintings, which creates a contact-free approach to making her artwork. Black ink is mixed with gel to create a new material which offers a new and unusual finish. The mix is poured from mid-air from an open neck bottle – much like pouring honey onto toast or olive oil onto bread. The finish is a textured, glossy image set against a smooth white board.
With no sketch underneath the painting, this freeform technique allows Kathryn to create truly original, organic pieces that are full of life and energy. The result is captivating and often evocative of how we feel about the subject in our minds. It is this ‘feeling’ that Kathryn strives to achieve through her work that gives it such resonance with collectors far and wide.
