Anne Madden is particularly well known in both Ireland and France where she has divided her time for the past forty years. Of Irish and Anglo-Chilean origin, Anne Madden spent her first years in Chile. Her parents returned to Europe to live in Ireland and in London, where she subsequently attended the Chelsea School of Arts and Crafts. During this period she was impressed by an important exhibition of American painting at the Royal Academy. It was Abstract Expressionism that opened up new possibilities of experimentation for her at that time. She later met some of these artists in Paris and New York among them Jean-Paul Riopelle, Joan Mitchell, Mark Rothko, Lee Krasner and others with some of whom she exchanged works. The techniques employed included palette knife and paint flows and soon involved the use of multiple canvases as a means of creating pictorial interactions.

She began to exhibit in group shows in London and Dublin from the age of 18. The Burren and her love of wilderness informed these early paintings. Her work was then interrupted for three years by a series of operations on her spine. During that time she met the painter Louis le Brocquy who was then working in London. They married in 1958 and set up house and studio in the south of France, where two sons were born to them, Alexis and Pierre.

From the mid sixties on their comparatively reclusive life in Carros village was changed by the opening of the Fondation Maeght in Saint-Paul, where over the years they were constantly meeting painters, sculptors, writers, poets, and musicians forming friendships resumed in Paris and elsewhere. In 1965 Anne Madden represented Ireland at the Paris Biennale, before regularly exhibiting in that city. From the 1960s she began to pour paint onto the canvas making a series of abstract landscapes influenced by her time as a young girl in the west of Ireland, near the Burren in Co Clare. Between 1970 and 1979 she embarked on a large series of vertical works, their size determined by her height and reach. Reflecting on life and death, the works derived from megaliths and other prehistoric monuments seen in the Burren were elegiac in nature. In the 1980s Madden stopped painting for a time and devoted herself to drawing. This resulted in a series of large works in graphite and oil paint on paper entitled Openings, which formed the exhibition of her work at the Fondation Maeght, in 1983 and represented her in ROSC '84.

Isabelle Gaborit

'Give Me Something To Stand On', 2022, encaustic on board (seen at The Russel Gallery, New Quay, Burren, Co. Clare, Ireland)

Gaborit uses the ancient painting process of encaustics, which is an immediate and tactile painting method using molten pigmented beeswax that is manipulated by blowtorch.

"My process driven practise is a direct expressive response to the physical environment  and natural forces I immerse myself on a daily basis. The naked shores, the dramatic skies, the deep cracks and the ruggedness of the stones of the western seashores".

Details

Rocks on the beach at Flaggy Shore. They are limestone which means they are more likely to develop these small holes from the acidity of water. The holes remind me of the texture of Gaborit’s work.
