‘Echo’ Eithne Jordan RHA exhibition at Casino at Marino
Published on 27th August 2025
Dublin City Council’s Arts Office and The Office of Public Works are pleased to present a new exhibition of work by Eithne Jordan RHA curated by Margarita Cappock.
It takes place at the Casino Marino, Cherrymount Crescent, Marino, Dublin 3, D03 HH70 from 30 August to 5 November 2025. The exhibition is open everyday from 10.00am to 5.00pm and admission to the exhibition is free.
Eithne Jordan is one of Ireland’s pre-eminent painters. In this exhibition, Jordan has turned her artistic gaze to the interiors of public and private spaces, such as museums and institutional buildings, which she has visited on her travels in Ireland, France, Italy, Switzerland and the United States. Jordan explores the way paintings, sculptures and artefacts are displayed in these spaces. She creates paintings that are, in her words, ‘emotional landscapes’. Jordan is drawn to exhibiting in unusual spaces where her work can interact with their surroundings as in this exhibition at the Casino Marino. Her paintings reflect her enduring interest in architecture and the interplay that can happen between her paintings and their environment, whether a modernist space or a historic building.
The resonance of this new body of work – most from the last five years – displayed in the rooms of the Casino creates the ‘echo’ of an ongoing conversation with the eighteenth century, which is why the artist chose this as the exhibition title. Eithne Jordan grew up in Clontarf, not far from the Casino. She states, "The Casino has an air of grandeur but it also has that sense of intimacy in the beauty of its proportions. It is one of the things that I love about it."
