ESB honours former Chief Executives at RHA exhibition
ESB has honoured former Chief Executives, Thomas Mc Laughlin and Joe Moran, at the 178th Annual Exhibition of the Royal Hibernian Academy prize winners, which was held on Friday, November 9th.
ESB has sponsored two prizes at the RHA Annual Exhibition this year. The prizes winners were selected by an ESB internal selection committee of Brendan Delany, Archive & Heritage Manager and Pauline Holland, Manager No.29 ESB's Georgan House Museum.
Pictured: The Connor/Moran Award for Sculpture for Year 2008 prize was presented to sculptor, Dorothy Cross, by Ann Nolan, daughter of the late former ESB Chief Executive, Joe Moran, for sculpture Fallen Foxglove.
Pictured: The Keating/Mc Laughlin Award for Painting in Year 2008 was presented to artist, Eugene Conway, by Brid Horan, Executive Director Customer Supply & Group Services for his work Dusk Descending. The painting is about the portrayal of an ordinary scene that we encounter in our own daily lives. The overall tone, mood and light in the piece invites us to reflect on what is going on around us. This artist, because of the sheer quality and force of his work, succeeds in drawing us into the environment but more than that we are encouraged to consider our own relationship with the environment, how we contribute to shaping it and how in turn it impacts on each us as individuals.
