Sandymount artist Felim Egan will be having an exhibition of his work in the Kerlin Gallery, South Anne Street, from the 12th January 2007 for a month. The work is all new, comprising of a suite of six large canvasses 175x175cm along with smaller works on canvas and a selection of works on paper.

Felim was born in lreland in 1952 and studied in Belfast and Portsmouth before attending the Slade School of Art in London. He spent a year at the British School at Rome in 1980 before returning to Dublin where he has since lived and worked at Sandymount Strand on the edge of the bay. He has recently completed a large public art-work in steel at the new development on Cork Street, commissioned by Castlepark Construction.

He is an artist of quite formal abstract images, and yet his work is tied to place, to the long horizons, big skies and empty sands of the Strand and sea beside his studio.
