Limerick-based artist and retired civil engineer David Murphy is presenting a solo exhibition titled "One Minute to View a Lifetime" at the Dooradoyle Library. The collection features paintings that are the result of a meticulous, month-long process per piece, emphasizing the contrast between the speed of modern observation and the duration of creative labor. The exhibition is scheduled to remain open to the public until March 7.
This showcase highlights the importance of local community spaces in supporting regional artists and providing accessible cultural programming. By focusing on the themes of slow looking and structural layering, Murphy’s work encourages viewers to move beyond superficial engagement with art, reflecting a broader movement toward mindfulness and appreciation for technical craftsmanship in local art scenes.
