Alan Raggett – Be Good if You Can –
Derived from vintage postcards sent from Kerry worldwide, Alan says of this series of oil paintings, 'about Kerry, made in Kerry and shown in Kerry’.
The exhibition was introduced by auctioneer John de Vere White; a recording of their conversation can be seen here: https://youtu.be/TmcHyubt9Rc

"It is so distressing to see the levels of violence and aggression in the world. It is particularly shocking to witness the hypocrisy of those who advocate for peace on one hand while making billions from the sale of arms and weapons on the other. We hope that art can be a catalyst for change and help us create the peaceful transformations that the world needs. We launch the print at the 2023 Winter Solstice in the hope that art can shine a light on the things that need to change, to highlight dissonance and discord in order to transform them."
