TITLE
THE LIGHT BEAUTIFUL (II): 13 RUE DES BEAUX-ARTS, PARIS.

ARTIST
Ailbhe Greaney

ABOUT THE WORK
Ailbhe Greaney’s works, The Light Beautiful (II): 13 Rue Des Beaux-Arts, Paris and The Light Beautiful (I): 21 Westland Row, Dublin attempt to bring the outside inside and make exterior the interior. Both images were created in the rooms of Oscar Wilde's birth, 21 Westland Row, Dublin, and death, 13 rue des Beaux-Arts, Paris. The works’ titles reflect on the feeling Oscar Wilde had for light, as described in Kevin O’Brien’s book, ‘The House Beautiful: A Reconstruction of Wilde’s American Lecture’. Further references include Wilde’s collection of essays, ‘The Decay of Lying’, and poem, ‘The Ballad of Reading Gaol’, writing which touches on the concepts of beauty and mortality central to The Light Beautiful series.
