Farm materials spur artist to radical ruralism in the west
Bale wrap, sheep-marking spray paint and animal-marking crayons are some of the materials used by Dublin-born artist Ronan Dillon, whose work is inspired in a large part by agriculture in the west of Ireland. Ronan told Agriland: "I moved to the west eight years ago to surf more and to have more time to make art. "I much prefer the pace of life and the freedom the west of Ireland offers. I lived in Strandhill for four years and now live in a more rural area near Kilcummin pier in Mayo." Ronan previously trained and worked as a graphic designer. He ran a design company in Dublin called me&him&you and still takes on a small number of design projects every year. He is also the co-founder and curator of Glovebox Gallery and cocktail bar, which he first set up on level five of a car park in Dublin. "My art is firstly ideas-led. I try to make new observations and connections within everyday rural life that allow people to look at the countryside in a new light," he said. "I'm particularly inspired by the uninhibitedness of farmers' marks, their unconscious and reasoned actions create something raw and beautiful.`' The artist's novel and innovative observations capture the sublime in the common, the everyday, the forgotten-about - and to do so simply and colourfully. For instance, his 'Woodville Farm Flock Edition' was a unique edition of handmade paper with flecks of sheep's wool embedded within the cotton pulp. It was first exhibited in Dublin at Hang Tough gallery. The edition of 90 sheets of paper sold out, with buyers ranging from foreign art collections to farmers. Ronan also curates 'Radical Ruralism', an online collection of contemporary art with a rural regard. It features contemporary art that examines rural topics within themes such as freedom, agriculture, environmentalism, and community. The online archive of 350 artworks are shared on the Instagram handle @ "Rather than depict romanticised notions of rural life, Radical Ruralism is contemporary art that seeks to address real authentic themes of rural living. "I'm currently exploring ideas and venues to create a group exhibition inspired by the growing archive," Ronan said. He has a new work selected for the 195th Royal Hibernian Academy (RHA) annual exhibition 2025, Ireland's largest and longest running exhibition of visual art, which is showing in Dublin until August 3. 'For the Birds', an anti-war rug made from hand-tufted sheep's wool, was inspired by the aesthetic and storytelling in Afghan war rugs. Reconsidered in an Irish agricultural context, the work tells the story of his friend's father's futile war with the crows on his farm over 50 years. (l-r) Ronan Dillon, Noel Feeney, and Peter Martin. Source: Carl Brennan Ronan is currently working on a project called 'Where do we all belong?'. "It's a socially engaged visual art project addressing loneliness in Co. Sligo," the artist explained. "I'm engaging with communities in rural Sligo to create a visual art project that will inspire meaningful connections and promote social inclusion."

Trump to build ballroom at White House
US President Donald Trump plans to build a ballroom at the White House as he pushes forward with remodeling the US executive mansion, his spokeswoman said. Mr Trump himself and unspecified donors will foot the bill for the $200 million project, she said. "For 150 years, presidents, administrations and White House staff have longed for a large event space on the White House complex," Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told a briefing. Work on the ballroom - which will have space to seat 650 people - will begin in September and it is expected to be completed before the end of Mr Trump's second term, Ms Leavitt said. The goal is to be able to host major functions for visiting leaders, whereas now this is sometimes done by erecting a tent on the White House grounds. A model of the ballroom presented by the government shows it will be a white building with columns and a facade like that of the main White House building. It will replace the East Wing, which usually houses the offices of the US first lady. Mr Trump has said for some time that he wants to build a White House ballroom inspired by his own properties, in particular his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. That mansion will serve roughly as the model for Mr Trump's remodeling of the White House to suit himself. Drawing on Mar-a-Lago, the former real estate developer has ripped up the lawn at the historic Rose Garden and is paving that area. Mr Trump, who does not shy from all things gaudy, has redone the Oval Office to add gold crown molding high on the walls and gold statues over the fireplace. He is also flying two huge American flags outside the White House.
