Eamon O'Kane's painting and sculpture; The Architect's House

Eamon O'Kane, with his installation in RARE Gallery, New York, during 15 November to 20 December 2008; The Architect's House, presents a large-scale oil paintings with his fascination of architecture and landscape. This painting recombine elements of modern design and set them in idyllic landscapes to bring the sense of contemporary utopian ideal. Yet he also refer to a subversive aspects of literature, cinema and design to show that it is impossible to achieve this ideal.

O'Kane realizes this dichotomy that he seems to offer the possibilities of hope, optimism, and redemption while on the other hand snatching them with his foreboding, surreal, and threatening allusions.
