MORE THAN A FEELING
27 May - 6 July 2024

Kaye Donachie, Rose Finn-Kelcey, Gideon Rubin, Grace Weir

DE LEÓN is delighted to present our latest exhibition that brings together the work of four international artists, Kaye Donachie, Rose Finn-Kelcey, Gideon Rubin and Grace Weir. The work draws upon the past, whether, as in Grace Weir’s film, it is the resonance of a 14th century building in Spoleto, Italy where artists have spent their summers since the 1970s; or a line taken from a 19th century poem or a piece of early 20th century writing which Kaye Donachie uses as the starting point for many of her paintings.  An old photograph is the point of departure for the work shown by Rose Finn-Kelcey and Gideon Rubin’s paintings draw upon found imagery from archive photographs, magazines or film stills. The title of the show, and the work within it, resonates with this quote from Gideon Rubin, who, when talking about painting, said ‘…and sometimes it’s a richer experience, the second thought, second listening, second look, second memory’.
