Eithne Jordan is one of Ireland’s pre-eminent painters. In this exhibition, Jordan has turned her artistic gaze to the interiors of public and private spaces, such as museums and institutional buildings, which she has visited on her travels in Ireland, France, Italy, Switzerland and the United States. Jordan explores the way paintings, sculptures and artefacts are displayed in these spaces. Many of these buildings, previously or currently, serve the causes of science, aristocracy, government and culture. The artist is drawn to the juxtaposition of sumptuous and pompous interiors, with the functionality of their use in contemporary life, and the overall impression created by the ensemble of décor.
From this she creates paintings that are, in her words, ‘emotional landscapes’.
Jordan is drawn to exhibiting in unusual spaces where her work can interact with their surroundings as in this exhibition at the Casino Marino. Her paintings reflect her enduring interest in architecture and the interplay that can happen between her paintings and their environment, whether a modernist space or a historic building.
The resonance of this new body of work – most from the last five years – displayed in the rooms of the Casino creates the ‘echo’ of an ongoing conversation with the eighteenth century, which is why the artist chose this as the exhibition title.
Eithne Jordan grew up in Clontarf, not far from the Casino. She states, ‘The Casino has an air of grandeur but it also has that sense of intimacy in the beauty of its proportions.
Admission is free and the exhibition can be visited daily between 10am and 4pm until 5th November 2025.
Please note entry to the building is by stairs only, anyone with mobility issues may find it difficult.
