A Place in the Cold Dark Ground
Painting
Acrylic on Raw Canvas
Bart O’Reilly’s A Place in the Cold Dark Ground series distills memory, mortality, and time into atmospheric abstraction. Built through layered hues and textured depth, each painting emerges as a meditation—both structured and intuitive—on the landscapes of his Irish childhood and the quiet resonance of poetry. O’Reilly’s work bridges past and present, balancing nostalgia with a contemporary reflection on loss and longing. In these contemplative compositions, color and form evoke a sense of the universal, inviting viewers into a space where personal history and collective experience intertwine.
Size: 18.5 x 20.25 inches
