Les Clague is a local legend within Clonakilty, not just for his music but also his artworks that he produced onto his calendars. Les’s latest series of 12 multimedia paintings are inspired by his late wife Anne who passed away earlier this year. Les’s artstyle is very reminiscent of psychedelic artwork from the 1960s and often based on his dreams but for this series of paintings, Anne is the main feature. Les’s paintings reflect Anne for who she was as a person and things that also gave her great joy such as community spirit and fuchsias. The paintings are featured in Les’s 2026 calendar. 

Cathal Ó Regan is a tribal artist living locally in Clonakilty and displays his pyrography and ink drawings within the back room of the Clonakilty Community Arts Centre. Cathal has been doing art since he was young and his style has since evolved into pyrography and detailed ink drawings inspired by life and everything around him and translates that into his tribal artwork. Cathal’s series of artworks for this exhibition will be a mixture of pyrographed hurleys, wooden boards, shoes and ink drawings.

We look forward to your attendance to this exhibition filled with heart and soul.

The exhibition will be opening on the 4th of October at 5:30pm at Gallery Asna and will run until the 25th.
