Visual Arts, The Soul of Kenmare June 18th-July 16th

The Soul of Kenmare

Ruslan Honchar is an artist, illustrator, and graphic designer working across drawing, visual narrative, and editorial practice. With over two decades of experience in publishing and art education, he has collaborated with leading international magazines including Forbes, GQ, Cosmopolitan, Men’s Health, and Playboy, and served as a lecturer and curriculum developer in sketching at the British Higher School of Design.

Since settling in Kenmare, County Kerry, he has been drawn to the subtle presence of the landscape — its shifting light, Atlantic atmosphere, and quiet human warmth. These impressions are at the centre of “The Soul of Kenmare.”

Alongside his landscape work, Honchar engages with the legacy of the Irish Antarctic explorer Tom Crean. In collaboration with writer Stan (Summit) Vershynin, he has developed a graphic narrative inspired by Crean’s expeditions with Captain Robert Falcon Scott aboard the Discovery.

The artist expresses his heartfelt gratitude to Aileen Crean O’Brien & Bill Sheppard of Tom Crean Brewery, for their generous support, kindness, and invaluable contribution to bringing this exhibition to life.

Due to the popularity of this Exhibition it is now on display until July 16th
