The selection of works for Joe Dunne's solo exhibition was made under the loose title of Paintings from Home as all the paintings are in one way or another, responses to the environment close to the artist's hometown and to interiors and subjects within his actual home. They depict for the most part aspects of suburban life on the outskirts of Dublin City and just beyond.

Exhibition images and prices can be found on the Jorgensen Fine Art gallery website www.jorgensenfineart.com
