There's something of a Tony O'Malley fest in Cork in the form of two major exhibitions of his work. An Irish Vision at the Crawford Municipal Art Gallery is a mini-retrospective tracing the development of his personal style through 35 works over a 40-year period, representing the three main places that have inspired him: several regions in Ireland, St Ives in Cornwall, and, rather further afield, the Bahamas. It was exhibited previously at the Kennedy Centre in the Phillips Collection in Washington DC. At the Fenton Gallery, meanwhile, Nuala Fenton, in co-operation with the artist, has selected works also spanning the last four decades, from the "brooding monochrome of the 1960s" to the "exuberant sunshine of the 1980s and 1990s".
