The Fusion series, comprises of five abstract paintings. The collectively acts as a powerful visual dialogue between the restaurant’s modern culinary offerings and its surrounding environment at the Crowley Room, Cavistons, 56, Glasthule, Sandycove. Dublin.
Each piece reflects the theme of harmony and integration, mirroring the seamless blend of flavours and ingredients in the restaurant’s cuisine. Set against the industrial backdrop of exposed brick walls, the works create a striking contrast, where the raw textures of brick meet the fluidity of colour and form.
Alana Lavery explores diverse techniques to create exciting abstract and tactile works, using traditional brushstrokes to more experimental methods. The visual artist Jenny Fox continues to explore abstract painting technique and figurative draughtsmanship
The artworks are more than just contemporary art; they serve as a visual extension of the dining experience itself. Drawing inspiration from the interplay of taste, each canvas evokes different sensory responses, inviting guests to experience not just food, but an atmosphere of sensory exploration. The abstract forms dance across the canvas like the ingredients in a carefully crafted dish, combining unexpected elements to create something entirely new, exciting, and unified.
The ocean views further enhance this sense of blending, as the fluidity of the paintings aligns with the natural horizon, offering a continuous flow between the indoor space and the ocean beyond. Light spills through the windows, casting reflections and changing the way the works appears throughout the day.
This curation isn’t just an aesthetic choice; it’s a celebration of modernity, craftsmanship, and the joy of synthesis, where art and culinary experiences merge into a cohesive whole. The Fusion series invites the viewer to immerse themselves in a multi-sensory experience that links the restaurant’s creative energy with its breathtaking surroundings.
