AS the title might suggest, this is a summer (?) group exhibition of gallery regulars, but the works do not simply come out of the basement or from leftovers.
The general level is decent, though the inclusion of over 20 artists does make for a certain degree of crowding. However, this is offset by the fact that many of the works on view are small, or relatively so. Robert Armstrong's landscapes are now much more abstract, suggestive rather than descriptive, and they gain a lot in quality and concentration by being so.
John Kelly has some of his inventive Icarus series, and Oliver Comerford shows a number of small, well painted close up pictures which are engaging and oddly intimate. Sarah Walker's four paintings are evocative, and have a neat sense of style; Helen Richmond's picture of a woman swimming shows a dense, compelling rhythm.
Small landscapes by Mary Donnelly and Michele Souter, two witty, almost cartoonish little pictures by Desmond Shortt, a head by Maurice Desmond (too rarely seen), interesting imagery by Maria Clark, all help to give variety as well as "body" to the exhibition.
The sculpture is thin, but there are two typical bronzes by John Behan, and Maighread Tobin shows some of her well worked pieces in slate.
