Meet the contemporary voices represented by The Chimera Gallery

AMERICAN
Mark Bailey
Contemporary painter capturing working figures and quiet labour through loose painterly mark-making and abstract scaffolding.

Contemporary painter working in hyper-real oil — exploring the human figure, sculpture and surface through bold colour and uncompromising scale.

UKRAINIAN
Ihor Melnyk
Contemporary painter working in vigorous impasto, exploring landscape and atmosphere through gestural mark-making.

ENGLISH
Lesley Oldaker
Contemporary painter of crowds, corridors and quiet dissent — her figures elongated and trailing, set inside vast architectural perspectives.

IRISH
Brian Smyth
Contemporary painter of urban scenes, capturing the quiet drama of public spaces and human figures within architectural settings.

IRISH
Kate Beagan
Contemporary Irish landscape painter known for luminous, atmospheric depictions of the Irish countryside at dusk and dawn.

IRISH
Michael Gemmell
Contemporary abstract painter exploring landscape, memory and form through bold gestural compositions.

IRISH
Dirk Hudson
Contemporary sculptor working in steel, copper and beeswax — monolithic figures touched by veins of molten bronze.

IRISH
Eamonn Higgins
Contemporary sculptor of the human figure — portrait busts in bronze that hold memory, time and quiet emotional weight. Also an award winning Blacksmith who teaches the art form from his own forge.

IRISH
Dorothy Ledwith
Contemporary Irish painter capturing the quiet poetry of working harbours and industrial waterways — cranes, warehouses and tidal light rendered in muted ochres and weathered blues.

FRENCH
Pierre Soufflet
Contemporary French painter whose vibrant interiors and industrial scenes pulse with line, pattern and saturated colour — a private theatre of rooms, harbours and dreamlike inhabitants.

AMERICAN
Riley Waite
Contemporary painter of streets, rain and youth — confrontational urban scenes rendered in cinematic light, wet reflections and unflinching gesture.

ENGLISH
Marc Bodie
Contemporary sculptor working in cast bronze — intimate figural forms folded into themselves, drawing on weather, weight and the quiet privacy of the body.

BULGARIAN / SWEDISH
Iva Troj
Contemporary mixed-media painter weaving classical figuration with mythological symbol and East Asian motif — quiet feminine narratives lit by lantern and undergrowth.

IRISH
Cormac O'Leary
Contemporary Irish painter of the human figure — bathers, nudes and quiet interiors built from heavy impasto, ochre, cobalt and the soft grain of board.

IRISH
Philip Lindey
Contemporary painter of small, theatrical narratives — old men, children and birds caught in the half-light of revelation, painted with old-master patience and quiet wit.

POLISH / IRISH
Katarzyna Gajewska
Polish-Irish painter working between figuration and dissolution — heavily worked surfaces of oil, pastel and pigment in which faces emerge and recede like memories.

AMERICAN
Mike Hamblin
American painter from Butte, Montana — meticulous portraits, hard-edged still life and Americana built up in patient layers of oil and watercolour on linen.
