195 South Circular Road was featured in The Irish Times. To create her paintings, artist Trióna Sweeney starts with a monochromatic palette on a roll of canvas and introduces considered moments of colour as the image expands. Her work reimagines transient spaces – those that are mundane but familiar, where human life meets the natural world – such as the expansive depiction of a roadway displayed over her kitchen table. “People paint as they are,” she says of her students, with some meticulous and careful and others wild and free. It’s no doubt the same with one’s home, with each design choice revealing something of who the owners are. Sweeney, it turns out, approached the design of her and her husband David O’Brien’s home at 195 South Circular Road in the same way she approaches a painting: starting with a monochromatic scheme and adding pops of colour through the decor over time.
