Panorama Europa: Artist Roundtable ✨

Join us for an artist roundtable examining the themes and artworks featured in our current exhibition Panorama Europa.

🗓 Saturday, September 26
⏰ 2pm - 3:30pm

Mediated by Glucksman curator Katie O'Grady and featuring @michael_canning_ , @clairehaplinartist , @eleanormccaughey and @geraldineoneillstudio, this event will delve into each artist's practice and discuss contemporary use of traditional European painting motifs and techniques, considering how we can understand the present through re-examining the past.

Panorama Europa presents the work of ten Irish artists who engage with traditions of European painting to explore contemporary identities and wider societal issues. The selected paintings, tapestry, sculptures and drawings reference works from Pre-Renaissance to Impressionism. The exhibition invites you to reflect on these art histories and consider how artists draw on diverse pictorial tropes to create new modes of representation.

Fantastic to see these two works by Geraldine O’Neill exhibited at the Glucksman in Cork yesterday - each shows one of her children in a landscape that evokes the fantastical vistas of early Renaissance paintings, with the children placed in the elevated position in which we would once have seen a saint performing a miracle or enacting a mythic scene. Here instead the central figures are caught up in the banality of housework - the Sisyphean task of attempting to impose order on the chaotic everyday.
.
Around them are elements of contemporary vanitas - foil balloons that will soon wrinkle and droop, a newborn baby in a depersonalised medical container, a cow skull.

St Peter’s Fish (aka John Dory) fly through the air, a reminder of how mythic human narratives are inscribed onto the natural world (in this case, a saint’s fingerprint) by way of ‘proof’ of the miraculous. There are reminders too of O’Neill’s own craft - her paintbrush, and the saucepan for her rabbit skin glue. Characters from art history pop up in the margins - a monstrous fishy apparition from Hieronymus Bosch, a penitent - all beneath an ominous, gathering, storm-heavy sky, over which a child’s hand has scrawled a hopeful but hopelessly out of place rainbow.

2) Flicker, Flicker, Age of Unreason (2025)

@geraldineoneillstudio 's works Díláthair, Solastalgia, Folly, 2022, and Flicker, Flicker, Age Of Unreason, 2025, are currently on display in our exhibition Panorama Europa.

Díláthair, Solastalgia, Folly speaks to non-attendance, futility and the existential distress caused by negative environmental change. By referencing the art historical works of Bosch, Bruegel and Patinir, O’Neill extends the technique of constructing imagined symbolic landscapes to articulate contemporary human ontological concerns, particularly our current time of climate catastrophe.

In Flicker, Flicker, Age of Unreason a young girl stands looking out at the viewer holding a vacuum cleaner in her hands. Her expression is one of disinterest or resignation. Her contemporary appearance is contrasted by the imagined panorama that surrounds her which creates a sense of unease, in a blending of timescales and place that is uncanny.

Artist Geraldine O’Neill responds to the escalating tension between humanity and the natural world. Her work speaks directly to the Anthropocene, our current epoch where human presence is inscribed into the geological fabric of the earth. O’Neill portrays her own children in her fantasy worlds as disconnected protagonists within a reality that contradicts itself both playfully and menacingly. By preserving their vulnerability and innocence she highlights her family as the centre of her universe in an affirmation that she can shelter and protect them while knowing that so much is outside of her control.

View these works and more currently on display in our gallery. We are open 11am to 5pm, Tuesday to Sunday.

This month's Little Interview is with Geraldine O'Neill, one of the artists featured in our current exhibition Panorama Europa!

Every month we ask the same set of cultural questions to one of our artistic, academic or civic collaborators.

Over the last number of years, we have interviewed diverse members of the Glucksman community - artists, academics, staff members, guests, audiences and workshop participants. The responses are funny, inspiring, revealing and always a great read.

@geraldineoneillstudio is an Irish artist whose work spans painting and sculpture. Her practice engages with themes of memory, place and personal narrative, often combining figurative and abstract elements. O’Neill responds to the increasing confrontation and human relationship with the Anthropocene, a geological time marked by human trace embedded within layers of the Earth’s structure.
