Press Release Body: Dublin, Ireland, May 19th, 2008 - Fergus O'Mahony today
announced that the Warren Gallery is showcasing a collection of British Modern Art
in Dublin's Gresham Hotel from 19th-21st June.

"In my fifth year as a gallery owner and art dealer, I could not let this year pass
without celebrating the wonderful work of artists from across the Irish Sea," says
Fergus O'Mahony. "The Magic of St Ives and Lancashire in the art world is well known
and they have brought to us painters that form the cornerstone of the British modern
era, but we must also not forget the Scottish and the Welsh and other parts of the
U.K. that have produced a plethora of wonderful painters and it is this homage I
must pay by bringing to Dublin a collection of the finest British modern art and
also not forget that a number of Painters we call our own also made their mark in
the U.K. and have included them as a mark of respect."

According to O'Mahony, "To put together this show takes time and a lot of work and I
could not do this event without the great help of my colleague Bill Clark who has
supplied me with many wonderful paintings and I am truly grateful. I am also
delighted to have The Rt Hon Tessa Jowell Minister for London and the 2012 Olympics
to open our show and thank her so much for taking time out of her busy schedule to
come to Dublin for the event."

The organisers want to acknowledge the support of the event sponsors whose support
ensured this major exhibition could take place: Fleming Construction, Landsbanki
Heritable Bank, Landsbanki Merrion Capital and Bollinger Champagne. The event hosts,
the Gresham Hotel have also played their part in providing an outstanding location
in the heart of Dublin.
