Just a perfect day

This morning was just wonderful for us as we came in to be greeted by this review from Kate at LeCool.

To say we got emotional and feel extremely grateful would be a wee understatement...

Illustrated, as advertised

‘Illustrated, as advertised’ is Steve Simpson’s first solo show since Miss Baker pinned his ‘Birds of the British Isles’ series to the cork board in 3rd class. That exhibition lasted a whole term, you only have a mere 3 weeks to see this one! Steve was the winner of Fire's 2011 ILLUSTRATION at FIRE competition and this exhibition will showcase a selection of recently commissioned and self initiated projects, from a career that spans nearly three decades. The Show opens tomorrow, Wednesday 7th March at 6pm at The Copper House Gallery and all are welcome, so drop by to see some award-winning illustration and find out more about the mysterious Magic Monkey.....

This short video produced here at Fire, reveals the story of our Illustration at Fire competition. We followed the judges as they met to chose their final 10, right through to the announcing of the winner at The Copper House Gallery exhibition opening . This story narrates the journey of our 10 finalists work, from print to exhibition.

But less of the chit chat, have a look for yourselves. Enjoy!

Illustrator Artist Talk

Last night The Copper House Gallery hosted a delightful evening with Steve Simpson, Kevin McSherry and Mario Sughi. With an intimate group setting, Kevin McSherry began the talk. He gave us the great pleasure of riffing through his personal sketch pads, before he cycled into the night!

Mario Sughi then went on to discuss his Illustration at Fire entry, whilst taking many queries from the group about his inspiration as an Illustrator. Steve Simpson finished up the engaging evening by discussing the path that led him to become an Illustrator (including working with Danger Mouse!) and then proceeded to discuss his winning Illustration, 'Signs of Revolution'.

The Illustration at Fire exhibition is open until the 22nd of December, where you can see Steve's, Mario's and Kevin's entries along with the other 7 finalist's fantastic work. Any enquiries contact us through .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) and we're also on flickr to have a nosey at more photo's of the night!

And the winner is…

Last night The Copper House Gallery saw the opening of Illustration at Fire exhibition and the announcement of our winner, Steve Simpson. Steve was among 10 finalists and was declared the winner by one of the judges, Laurence O'Byrne.

Steve's clever concept and witty Illustration led him to win the competition, along with the prize which includes his own exhibition at The Copper House Gallery next year. His piece "Signs of a Revolution" consists of 12 images on a grid, each signing a letter from the word 'Revolution' by hands of iconic figures. Homer Simpsons hand signing 't' behind a donut ring being one of my favourites!

To learn more about Steve's influence and processes behind his winning Illustration, there will be an artists talk with Steve, and two other finalists, Mario Sughi and Kevin McSherry next Thursday 8th December in The Copper House Gallery.

And finally, if you are stuck for original Christmas presents this year, (yes it is that time of year again), we have limited edition prints of each of the 10 finalists pieces, available in three different finishes and sizes. Follow us on twitter or facebook or drop an email .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) for more information.

Congratulations again to Steve, from all here at Fire!

Le Cool Review

Just as the final Illustration was hung, in the nick of time our 'Le Cool' reviewer came through The Copper House Gallery doors. Le Cool is an online magazine that reviews and gives a guide to arts and cultural events happening in Dublin.

With the opening of the exhibition tonight, Le Cool wrote a review in their magazine today, available to see here. Their praises were high and they were impressed by the Revolution themed images. Laurence O'Byrne opens the exhibition tonight at 6pm and will announce the winner. The exhibition will run for three weeks, giving you plenty of time to pop in and see the Revolution Illustrations for yourself! Follow us on twitter and facebook for regular updates.
