Time is the Enemy, Gerard Byrne's solo exhibition opens in The Gerard Byrne Studio in Ranelagh on Friday, 20th April 2018. The collection of works offers a subtle exploration of the theme of the passing time. Gerard is known for capturing the beauty of flowers, nature and architecture. Much more than just pretty imagines, the paintings focus on the details inviting the viewers to contemplate the fleeting moments of the flora in bloom, a life in its prime and its accompanying shadows. They are contrasted with the paintings depicting seemingly everlasting nature, the sea, cliffs, forests and fields whose present form transforms slowly but surely.

Gerard's architectural pieces seize the cities and villages as the artist sees them today. Our surroundings, prone to changes, are captured in the oil paintings in a slightly idyllic way, depicting familiar buildings, squares and streets. The artists follows his intuition while choosing the subjects as the sites often get demolished months after Gerard has painted them.

The collection also showcases the social scenes, an insight into the human relations seen through the passage of time, a mixture of the artist's memories and fantasies.
