OPENING this Friday 10 at County Library, Dooradoyle Road, ‘Pencils Talk’ is a new exhibition of close to 60 drawings, prints and paintings by Raheen based amateur, John Waters.
A student of Jean Ryan Hakzimana’s studio on Sarsfield Street for some years, he has taken the bold step of aligning his cumulative works for this exhibition that will see a high percentage of every sale donated to a neighbouring charity, Enable Ireland.
He has a charming series of pencil drawings that combined with brief text or the suggestion of context, make for playful viewing. The letter ‘i’ is redrawn as a human character who faces dilemmas or who voices thought-bubbles.
Works are framed and for sale but not his suite of paintings, some of which have impish Munster Rugby reference.
