About The Doorway Gallery
Perched on the cusp of Rathmines area in Portobello, The Doorway Gallery is a treasure trove of Irish art just minutes from Rathmines Road. Featuring stars like Bob Lynn, Lucy Doyle, and Ken Browne, it specialises in evocative landscapes and figurative works that capture Ireland's soul. The narrow townhouse space feels personal, with oils and watercolours hung salon-style; sunlight streams through the doorway, illuminating pieces that smell faintly of linseed oil. It's where collectors find affordable originals amid Dublin's gallery scene.
