Sheila Rennick’s works are characterised by thickly-applied oils and bursts of vibrant colour, their dark narratives often tempered by humour and hints of pathos. Her new works juxtapose recent summer holidays to Margate and Broadstairs with her young children and her own childhood memories of summers spent in Achill island, Ireland, in the late-1980s and ‘90s. Drawing from memory and found or taken images, Rennick muses on the themes of childhood memories, consumerism, nostalgia, identity and popular culture, considering the paradoxical disconnect between our notions of self and the often-unpleasant reality.
Sheila Rennick was born in Galway and has degrees in Fine Art Painting from The National College of Art and Design, Dublin, and St. Martin’s College, London. Sheila has exhibited extensively in Ireland, the UK, and the USA, and her work appears in many collections, including The Office of Public Works, Dublin, and The Arts Council Ireland.
