Inspired by Ireland
This art print is part of Fab Cow’s ‘Inspired by Ireland’ series. This series is influenced by the rich colours of Ireland’s flowers, heather and fauna. All of which can get overwhelmed by the vast greens of the Irish landscape. Fran Leavey rebalances this by including the vibrant minority colours of Ireland. This creates a warmth and luminosity to this artwork.
In this print we can see the shape of a traditional Irish cottage. Travelling Ireland you will see such cottages. Many cottages have been renovated and extended. But there are still many in their original state, holding their character and form. Some are occupied while others unfortunately lie in ruins, hinting at a desolate past. Each of these cottages holds memories and stories of generations past and present. They hold secrets of history. Each one reminds us of the deep connection to the place we call home. Perhaps they hold memories of stories handed down, distanced in time, but always with a pull on the heart.
The colour of this cottage makes us feel the warmth of the home and the love within. The cottage is surrounded by vibrant colours of reds, blues, yellows, greens and more. The contemporary abstract use of colour and rigid shapes with the shape of the traditional cottage conjures a feeling of nostaglia, which may sadden us, but certainly warms out heart. Here is where our heart is.
