DRAWINGS 2000 is Pat Murphy's second one man show at the Dyehouse Gallery. Pat studied at the National College of Art in Dublin in the early seventies, and since then has been developing his considerable talents, stimulated by the seclusion of the Ring Gaeltacht.

In this exhibition Pat uses his characteristic technique of mixed media on paper. The overall visual effect is achieved by a complex merger and interaction between pencil, crayon and colour wash.

"Pat Murphy is arguably one of the most gifted and accomplished artists working in Ireland today"

Art historian and critic
