The tensions between the graphic and richly coloured areas of Sinead Ní Mhaonaigh’s new paintings at the Kevin Kavanagh Gallery have a strong emotive charge, writes Catherine Leen

Paintings, at Kevin Kavanagh Gallery, the third show by Sinead Ní Mhaonaigh this year, builds on an artistic practice as profound as it is prolific. Ní Mhaonaigh has had numerous group and solo exhibitions since 2004, and her work is represented in prestigious collections such as the Arts Council of Ireland, the Office of Public Works and the Mermaid Arts Centre.
