About Us
The Chimera Gallery is now in its ninth year, we have gone from strength to strength on a natural course but all good things come to an end , or do they… change is a difficult process for some but not for the Chimera.. Change is a foot and its exciting and it’s around the corner.
New look website will be launched this summer with new additions to make it an easier and a fun experience navigating.
“Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.” Pablo Picasso
“Great art picks up where nature ends.” Marc Chagall
“The position of the artist is humble. He is essentially a channel.” Piet Mondrian
The Beginning
2009
Gallery owner Dave O’Shea curates a small , intimate exhibition for Artist Hazel Revington-Cross in the Greville Arms hotel, Mullingar, Co Westmeath. The journey starts.
2009
Pop up shops in local hotels were the next logical steps to get a feel for local art collectors and their tastes.
2010
Along with business partner Hazel Revington-Cross, both decided to close down Garden Centre business and turn shed into small gallery.. ‘The Garden Gallery’ was born.
2014
Both Hazel and Dave learned their trades and part company to pursue different artistic roads but still relying on each other for help. In this year The Purple Raven Gallery and Chimera Gallery both opened.
Some of our Artists
Owner & part time staff
The Chimera is a one man show so to speak but would hire local help for exhibition evenings and would be lost without them.The Gallery takes part in local school intern schemes and work experience.
ARTISTIC & PROGRAMMING
All programming and exhibitions are run by Dave, the Chimera very much involves the artist to input as much as possible and tailors to their different needs.
COLLABORATION
The Chimera will in 2020 start an international collaboration with Galleries in New York, Chicago and Austria… A very exciting time ahead
