The Ormeau Baths Gallery presents a major solo exhibition by Northern Irish artist William McKeown entitled ‘Five Working Days’. William McKeown (b.1962) is highly regarded for his paintings, drawings, watercolours and constructions/installations that express his concern about our ongoing relationship with nature both outside and within. He is interested in the sky around us; the air that we exist in and our daily emergence into light. His work is poetic, expansive and captures the essence of a time and a place. It is centred around issues of beauty, happiness, acceptance and freedom. For this new show, William McKeown will create five installations that use the Ormeau Baths galleries as metaphorical spaces for daily existence.

McKeown earlier this year made two, two person shows; ‘Pool’ with Irish/International artist Dorothy Cross at the Kerlin Gallery, Dublin and ‘A Certain Distance, Endless Light’ with works by American artist Felix Gonzalez-Torres at mima, Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art. William McKeown had a major solo exhibition at IMMA, the Irish Museum of Modern Art in 2008/09.
