Opening reception Thursday 11 June, 6 - 8 pm (12 June – 4th July, 2026)
The solo exhibition SONANCE at Taylor Galleries brings together a series of abstract works on Japanese paper, canvas and wood through which the artist explores states of transition. The sources of the paintings include references to ancient geological maps, the edges of seascapes, exposing the layers of the Anthropocene and human displacement. An engagement with realms of deep time informs the imagery, transforming the invisible and the imagined into a resonant visual language. McDonald’s paintings combine intense sequences of oil paint with natural materials such as iron-rich oxides, cinnabar, malachite and plaster, producing works charged with movement, sound, and rhythm.
You can watch a trailer here which offers a sense of the research behind this exhibition. Upcoming Book Launch:
A landmark publication celebrating the work of Siobhán McDonald will be launched later this summer. This richly illustrated volume edited by Helen Carey offers a significant exploration of the artist’s practice and research. Texts by writers including Steve Mentz, Maria Monotero Sierra and others.
