About this Event
On the first Thursday of every month, many of Belfast’s galleries and studios stay up late so that audiences can enjoy after-hours access to some of the finest visual art that the city has to offer. A great post-work social activity to enjoy by yourself or with friends and family, embrace the atmosphere of Late Night Art and immerse yourself in Belfast’s art scene. Participants can expect to see media from across the visual arts, including painting, sculpture, photography, illustration, craft, video, and performance, and no two Late Night Art experiences are ever the same!
We are excited to showcase our growing Golden Thread Gallery Collection this Late Night Art with a pop up exhibition in our Lower Gallery by Belfast artist Clement McAleer.
McAleer is known for his landscape oil paintings. His paintings focus mainly on landscape, not on specific places but on the changing, restless qualities of nature. Clouds, water, land, and sea shift into one another, creating a strong sense of atmosphere. The Irish coast is a major influence, and memories of it are always present in the studio. Travel in Europe and America has also inspired many works, especially a series of railway paintings from Italy, Germany, and the Netherlands. In these, structure becomes more important. Sometimes a visible grid is used and then softened or hidden, helping the painting move between abstraction and the feeling of actually being there.
