Hen’s Teeth is delighted to announce the launch of Sent Off, a limited two day exhibition depicting Roy Keane’s red cards by Seánie Harte at their Blackpitts space, on the 3rd and 4th September.
The show brings together 16 original oil pastel works (16, for the number Keane’s jersey) exploring one of Irish football’s most talked-about moments in Keane’s career: the red cards picked up during his time playing for both Manchester United and Ireland.
Working with oil pastel on both wood panel and paper – Harte builds each piece from an initial sketch through to the finished work. The exhibition includes multiple pieces built around single moments, including a group of works centred on Keane’s tackle on Alf-Inge Håland, alongside earlier and more recent additions to the series, some of which have never been shown publicly before.
Sent Off is Seánie’s first solo exhibition and in his words:
“Football already means so much to people, so hopefully this exhibition can act as a gateway to art for supporters who might not normally visit an art exhibition. I’d love to see more football and art crossing over in Ireland, and if this helps in some small way, that would be brilliant.”
All works in the exhibition are original, framed pieces available for purchase throughout its run at Hen’s Teeth. After the show closes, remaining works can be purchased directly through Seánie Harte.
