ANSELM KIEFER
JANUARY 2006 - APRIL 2006
Meaning “My Age and Your Age and the Age of the World”, Kiefer’s first exhibition at the gallery represents a concurrent investigation of the history of mankind and of Earth. On display are some of Kiefer’s defining and fundamental artistic themes and principles: his fascination with alchemy and the elements; his use of impasto techniques and eclectic materials; his attraction to cosmogonical and mythological symbols; and an emphasis on the spiritual value of such materials and symbols.

TRACEY EMIN
OCTOBER 2006 - NOVEMBER 2006
Provocative and sexually charged, yet humble and self-reflective, Emin's second exhibition at the gallery, “More Flow”, acted almost as a chronology of the artist’s sexual history and of her pursuit of love. It exposed viewers to the feelings of desperation and defencelessness which the artist would experience in the face of erotic encounters and sought to mediate between the pleasure and harshness of sexual intimacy.

LUIGI ONTANI
OCTOBER 2004 - DECEMBER 2004
Meaning ‘The Love of Heroes’, Luigi Ontani’s first exhibition at Galleria Lorcan O’Neill is a study of the idea of true heroism and its connection with love, as interpreted in both sophisticated literary culture and popular traditions. Whether it be a ceramic sculpture of Garibaldi or an image of Ontani as Shivaji, the warrior-king revered as a god in Western India, Eros appears and disappears, always ambiguous, often disguised, as a source - if not the source - of the true heroic act.

FEBRUARY 2004 - APRIL 2004
Max Renkel concentrates on the study of colour and composition. His paintings, at first abstract, gradually reveal an imagery based on observation of nature and the human figure.

MANFREDI BENINATI
JUNE 2003 - AUGUST 2003
Manfredi Beninati’s use of images of the family in his paintings flirts with the conventional Madonna and child, provoking a modern, psychological interpretation of the genesis of life.
