Gottfried Helnwein, - the work has to be seen to be believed
Ireland
From 3 July to 4 September Gottfried Helnwein exhibits some of his large photo-realist landscapes. These really are BIG paintings, with some of the canvases reaching seven metres in length.
So what, you may yawn, but the work has to be seen to be believed.
Helnwein specialises in the classic, dramatic sublime and, not surprisingly, Caspar David Friedrich is cited as an influence.
