SUMMARY:Through the Artist`s Eye
DESCRIPTION:“Back in 2014\, as a result of my feverish plein air painting sessions on Kilmacurragh Gardens\, Co. Wicklow\, I was invited to join an exhibition based on Kilmacurragh House & Gardens. It was entitled “Through the Artist’s Eye” and was hosted in the illustrious National Botanical Gardens\, Dublin. And thus\, I had become part of a group of artists who would create artworks based on\, and exhibited in\, various renowned historical gardens of Ireland. These newest paintings are based around Blarney Castle Gardens\, representing the fourth garden tackled by the by this artistic group. ” – Rod Coyne.

SUMMARY:DIF3 Exhibition Dusseldorf.
DESCRIPTION:DIF3 exhibition in short.\n\n\n\nWhat is it? \n\n\n\nDIF3 is a visual art project\, established in 1994\, celebrating Irish landscape\, people and lore. The title DIF derives from Deutch-Irische-Freundschaft = German-Irish-Friendship. ADMISSION IS FREE. \n\n\n\nWho is it? \n\n\n\nThe participants of this project\, are Rod Coyne (painter)\, Jost Hiller (photography) and Anja Coyne (digital artist).  \n\n\n\nWhere is it? \n\n\n\nStudio Hiller\, Burgplatz 12 – D40213 Düsseldorf\, Germany. Map link: https://goo.gl/maps/yJY4ZecZZdD4A5C16 \n\n\n\nWhen is it? \n\n\n\n2023: Fri 22nd Sept. 17.00h – 22.00h\,  Sat 23rd Sept. 11.00h – 21.00h\, Sun 24th Sept. 11.00 – 18.00h. \n\n\n\nWhy is it?\n\n\n\nDIF3 is the third installment of a collaborative visual art project by three like-minded-artists and was made possible by the support of the Irish Government. This project is supported by Culture Ireland (Department of Foreign Affairs) with the aim of promoting Irish art in Germany. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRod and his Favorite Puffin.\n\n\n\n\n\nJust a small selection of Rod Coyne’s paintings heading to Germany.\n\n\n\nThe DIF project history.\n\n\n\nThe three founding members of DIF Anja\, Rod & Jost\, first collaborated with a visual arts exhibition in 1994. The Irish themed exhibition in Dusseldorf was a homage from afar and a visualisation of homesickness simultaneously. The three members expressed a shared passion through their singular artistic voices. This set up a riveting dynamic between the work exhibited. The pieces varied from joyous celebration to nostalgic longing depictions of the Irish landscape. \n\n\n\n\n1994 invitation to DIF.\n\n\n\n1994 DIF stands for Deutch Irische Freundschaft.\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nIn 2013\, almost two decades later the thematic balance had shifted for the DIF project. Only Jost Hiller remained in Germany\, while the other two members had moved to Ireland in 2000. Rod Coyne had spent the intervening years delving deep into plein air painting with the Irish landscape his main anchor. Ahead of the DIF2 exhibition Hiller spent time in Ireland working along side Coyne documenting Rod’s process in the Wicklow mountains. These works were at the heart of the show. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n2013 Rod dreaming of Dusseldorf\, when he should be busy framing.\n\n\n\n2013 Rod Coyne has the exhibition is crated and ready for shipping. \n\n\n\n2013 Jost Hiller’s major relief as the crate arrives intact in Dusseldorf.\n\n\n\n2013 DIF2.\n\n\n\n2013 Rod Coyne hanging DIF2.\n\n\n\n2013 DIF2 Jost Hiller & Rod Coyne.\n\n\n\n2013 DIF2\, Rod & Anja Coyne demonstrate the Irish Craic. \n\n\n\n2013 DIF2 traditional Irish Music.\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nIn 2023 DIF3 we will be marking a decade since the last exhibition. Rod Coyne will be showing Irish landscape created over the past 20 years demonstrating four fully fledged and distinct painting styles. Jost Hiller will be showing his latest photography. Anja Coyne expresses her German-Irish passion by enveloping the project in her singular take on Irish Lore and graphic design. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nIreland photography by Jost Hiller.\n\n\n\nIreland photography by Jost Hiller.\n\n\n\nIreland photography by Jost Hiller.\n\n\n\n“Seasprat at Finan’s Bay” 60x60cm\, oil on canvas by Rod Coyne.\n\n\n\n“Skellig Blush” 70x100cm\, oil on canvas by Rod Coyne.\n\n\n\n“Meeting of the Waters” triptych 3x 18x24cm\, oil on canvas by Rod Coyne.\n\n\n\n“Skellig Phosphorescence” 100x120cm\, oil on canvas by Rod Coyne.\n\n\n\n“Three Sisters” 50x70cm\, oil on canvas by Rod Coyne.\n\n\n\n“Skellig Arch” 80x80cm\, oil on canvas by Rod Coyne.\n\n\n\n“Scarlet Harvest” 50x70cm\, oil on canvas by Rod Coyne.\n\n\n\n“Avoca Downriver” triptych 3x 50x70cm\, oil on canvas by Rod Coyne.\n\n\n\n“Puffin Sound” triptych 3x 40x50cm\, oil on canvas by Rod Coyne.\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThe venue Studio Hiller is otherwise a commercial photography studio of 25 years renown.

SUMMARY:SEEING RED by Rod Coyne.
DESCRIPTION:SEEING RED is the title of an art exhibition featuring new paintings by Avoca artist Rod Coyne. Not only are these works new but they are the result of one year’s experimentation where Rod has been taking his red-palette to the extreme. Noelle Campbell Sharp will curate and display these new canvases in Dublin’s Origin Gallery. Richard Curran will launch the show which runs from 2nd -21st of March 2018. \nFeatured in Rod’s upcoming exhibition “Red Rock” 2017\, triptych 50x70cm x3\, oil on canvas. \nCoyne says\, “It’s a nervous time preparing to premiere new work\, particularly as I have really gone out on a limb this time. I have no idea how the public will react and I just hope that the limb in question doesn’t just snap off below me.” For images and the full SEEING RED story please follow this link: https://oldsite.avocagallery.ie/still-seeing-red/ \nFeatured in SEEING RED\, “Hooked on Red” was painted at Hookhead Lighthouse. \n#RodSeesRed \nRecently I decided to introduce radical amounts of red into my landscapes regardless if they were there or not. First off I swapped the greens of the landscape for a tonally similar palette of reds. Then I started replacing the blues of the sea and sky with a palette of reds. Comparing the two versions I rejected the second option for looking too realistic\, just as if painted at sunrise or sunset. But where the land was red that took on a completely other worldly feel. And this method applies to the work submitted. \n“Lady’s Ruff Storm” 25x30cm\, oil on canvas. \nWhat: “Seeing Red” exhibition of new paintings. \nWhere: Origin Gallery\, 37 Fitzwilliam Street Upper\, Grand Canal Dock\, Dublin 2\, D02 X982. \nWhen: 2nd -21st March 2018. Open Monday – Friday from 10.30am till 5.30pm. \nWho: Rod Coyne: Artist\, Noelle Campbell-Sharp: Gallerist\, Richard Curran: Opener. \nContact Gallery: Phone: (01) 662 9347\, \nEmail: theorigingallery@gmail.com  \, Website: https://theorigingallery.com/ \nContact Rod: Phone: 087-2259680\, \nEmail: info@rodcoyne.com\, Website: www.avocagallery.com

SUMMARY:Culture Night - Painting Demo & talk. #RodSeesRed
DESCRIPTION:Culture Night – Painting Demo & talk.\nRod Coyne invites you to his painting demonstration and talk based on his latest experimental work “Rod Sees Red”. During 2017 Rod has replaced all the greens of the landscape with a vivid palette of reds. The results are equally exciting and other worldly. This Friday you can see Rod slither out onto the thin ice once more as he attempts for the first time to apply the red-format to still life painting. All are welcome between 5.30 – 7pm to this informal and fun event\, admission is free. \n \n  \n#RodSeesRed\n“Recently I decided to introduce radical amounts of red into my landscapes regardless if they were there or not. First off I swapped the greens of the landscape for a tonally similar palette of reds. Then I started replacing the blues of the sea and sky with a palette of reds. Looking at the two versions I saw instantly that the second option still looked realistic\, just as if painted at sunrise or sunset. But where the land was red that took on a completely other worldly feel.\nCulture Night will be a first\, when I attempt to apply these landscape rules to a still life. Please join me for this live painting demonstration and chat. “\n– Rod Coyne.

SUMMARY:“1916 Portrait Collection” Exhibition Launch
DESCRIPTION:1916 Portrait Collection by Rod Coyne\n“1916 Portrait Collection” Exhibition Launch at The Courthouse Arts Centre\, Tinahely\, Co. Wicklow.\nExhibition launch is on the 13th of March from 4 – 6pm\, the show runs till April 9th.\nWe’re so thrilled that Bryan Dobson\, newscaster with RTÉ\, has agreed to launch the show. \n \n  \nRod Coyne has created an exclusive series of portraits remembering key faces of the 1916 Easter Rising. The artist blends contemporary and classical painting to draw together the vastly diverse photographic sources. The unity of style he achieves underlines the diverse nature of the Risings’ protagonists and how they bound together in common purpose. This collection of portraits\, currently available as 1916 Centenary Calendar and canvas prints\, will be premiered as part of the Courthouse Art Centre’s centenary programme in March 2016. \n  \n \n  \n“I remember learning this part of Irish history as a school boy\, awe-struck and filled with pride. While back then the year 2016 belonged to science fiction\, I now stand on the threshold still awe-struck and filled with pride.\nI started out with a need to update the 1916 images I had known since I was a kid. The faces I admired for so long had become jaded in my eyes; they had been re-hashed continually in books and posters to the point where I couldn’t see them anymore. Using a palette of Prussian Blue and Burnt Sienna I have attempted to give the collection a unifying thread to tie them together. Each original photograph was completely different to the next; some were considered studio portraits and others taken on the fly. I decided not to trace from the photos but to process them through my own eyes\, head and hand. I was trading “accuracy” for a chance to really commune with these faces until they started to become people again.” \n  \n \n  \n“Those who know my landscape work might be forgiven for thinking I have made a radical side-step with this collection. On one had I have done just that\, but on the other it’s just me going back to my roots. I have never considered myself a portrait artist\, as there many who look after end of things so much proficiently than I ever will. I admire and enjoy their work.\nFrom day one I have drawn by that primitive artistic urge to work with the head\, face and figure. I guess it’s just that eternal fascination with the human condition. Indeed\, during my early years in Düsseldorf the human condition featured heavily in a long series on paintings examining the Troubles. So the “1916 Portrait Collection” is very much a continuation of those\, themes held on pause for a while\, rather than a surprise anthology from left field.” \n  \n1916 Canvas Print in Scale \nCreating the “1916 Portrait Collection” has been a steep learning curve for me. Not only was I forced to go back a re-read my history but I was obliged to drag my mindset into the twenty-first century. Ireland was a very different place when I learned about the Easter Rising in the early nineteen eighties. I never thought to question why apart from Countess Markievicz there appeared have been no women named in connection with 1916. And it was with the same school boys’ eyes that I started out on this project. Yet as I delved deeper I realised so many names had been left out of the script\, and indeed Elisabeth O’Farrell had been airbrushed out altogether. So for my small part I have attempted to right some wrongs and adjust my twentieth century dinosaur brain to something more fitting to the new millennium. Thus\, I have included many of the 1916 heroines and consciously airbrushed Elisabeth O’Farrell back into the picture.” – Rod Coyne. \n  \n1916 Rod & Elizabeth O’Farrell \nThe Easter Rising of 1916 was pivotal to the emergence of an independent Ireland. Only supported by a minority of the Irish population\, the courage and sacrifice of those who led it would in time change their nation’s destiny. The story of how less than two thousand Irish men and women bravely confronted the might of the British army in Dublin remains one of the most compelling in Irish history.\nFor further information on press or any images please contact:\nMaggie O’Gallagher – Director\nThe Courthouse Arts Centre\, Tinahely\, Co.
