Negotiating images of home and away

VISUAL ART: JOHN NOEL SMITH’s abstract paintings in his Pandect series, (Pandect IV, left) at Hillsboro Fine Art, are beautiful things. Visually they’re not at all complicated. Central panels, inscribed with networks of cross-hatched linear marks of a single colour on a paler ground, are flanked by two flat-painted, monochrome panels. There are some variations and elaborations on this basic scheme, but not many. It might sound quite minimal and uninvolving, not something likely to offer much in the way of visual goodies.

John Noel Smith's exhibition runs until today, November 20th, at Hillsboro Fine Art, Parnell Square, Dublin 1.
