Fráma Presents: Beneath the Painted Moon A Solo Exhibition by Shea Dalton Opening Night: Friday, 14th February 2025 Vernissage: 6:30 PM – 8:30 PM Exhibition Duration: Until Saturday, 22nd March 2025 Location: Fráma Gallery, 6 North Main St. Naas Fráma is thrilled to host Beneath the Painted Moon, the inaugural solo exhibition of our 2025 programme at our gallery in Naas. This exhibition debuts a new body of work by Donegal artist, Shea Dalton, marking his first solo presentation since his exhibtion, Light Drinks at The Ashford Gallery, RHA in 2019. Above: 'Bed', oil on linen, 2023 Working predominantly with oil on linen, Shea Dalton's work spans from intimate works on paper to grand easel paintings, each embodying a slow, deliberate process where layers of paint are built up over months. His work interrogates the themes of artificiality, repetition, and the intersection of technology and art. By incorporating digital motifs and smartphone-generated designs as the foundation of each painting, Dalton bridges traditional painting techniques with digital artistry, revisiting and refining his works to achieve their final form. Dalton's art, often characterised by a subtle, monochromatic depth, undergoes numerous revisions witnessed in the layered glazes that add complexity and intrigue. Through a lens that merges contemporary and historical influences—from medieval art to Minimalism and Pop art—Dalton's paintings critique the notion of authenticity and self-expression in the digital age. He creates immersive worlds that underscore the constructed nature of imagery and the inherent incompleteness of reality, inviting viewers into a reflective dialogue on modern societal issues. Above: Portrait of Shea Dalton in his studio on Burgh Quay Shea Dalton is a Donegal-born, Dublin-based artist. A Master of Fine Art graduate from the National College of Art and Design (2006), Dalton's work has been celebrated internationally, with exhibitions in the Netherlands, Sweden, Iceland, Canada, and Ireland. Notably, his solo show, 'Light Drinks', at the Royal Hibernian Academy (RHA) underscored his influence in the arts. His dedication to exploring complex themes within his paintings has led to his recognition by the Irish Arts Council with the Visual Artist Bursary in 2020. Dalton's work, held in high esteem in both public and private collections globally, continues to resonate and evolve, cementing his status as a vital figure within the art community.
