Artists Thomas Hendy and Ger Hughes come together for a two person exhibition at Reds Gallery Dublin in October.
These works arise from darkness, reaching toward light. Ger paints as if gathering fragments of dawn, transforming past fear into radiance. Thomas draws like rebuilding from ash, turning loss into form and discipline into freedom. Together their practices transform despair into presence, fracture into wholeness, and silence into resilience and renewal.
Thomas Hendy is a self taught artist originally from Bray, Co. Wicklow and is now based in Kells, Co Meath. His work emerges from a past shaped by addiction, homelessness and incarceration. He recently was the winner of the Open Submission Award at the Dublin Painting & Sketching Club Annual Exhibition.
Ger Hughes is also a self taught artist from Co. Wicklow, now based in Dublin.. Drawn to the balance between darkness and light, he has learnt that if we look close enough, there is always light to be found somewhere. He ahs had a solo exhibition in 2025 at Third Space in Dublin.
