**Ronan Day-Lewis Unveils “Anemoia”: A Brain-Melting Blend of Art and Film**

**Dublin, Ireland -** Ronan Day-Lewis, the 27-year-old artist and filmmaker, is set to launch a pair of highly anticipated projects: an exhibition of paintings titled “Anemoia” and his feature-length directorial debut, “Anemone.”

“Anemoia,” opening at Los Angeles’ Megan Mulrooney Gallery, is a collection of oil pastel works inspired by early 2000s Flickr images. Day-Lewis describes the images as having an “uncanny quality,” blending the familiar with the vintage. The paintings feature a splicing of different photos, placing figures in landscapes they’ve never seen. They capture rumbling skies over house rooftops, a vast, barren desert with a young girl brandishing a gun in the foreground, and women in hotel room beds, captured off guard.

Simultaneously, Day-Lewis is preparing for the premiere of “Anemone” at the New York Film Festival. The film, co-written with and starring his father, the renowned actor Daniel Day-Lewis, explores the bonds between fathers, sons, and brothers. Focus Features and Plan B produced the film, which tells the story of a self-exiled former soldier, Ray (Day-Lewis), and what brings him back into contact with his brother (Sean Bean) after a long time apart.

Ronan Day-Lewis, who studied art at Yale, is known for his surreal and disconcerting style. His art explores themes of memory, nostalgia, and the passage of time.

“Anemoia” runs at Megan Mulrooney Gallery, Los Angeles, until November 1. “Anemone” will have a limited release in North American theaters on October 3, before being released wide on October 10. It will open in UK theaters on November 7.
