About this event
This exhibition showcases evocative paintings by Aoife Scott alongside vibrant, colour-rich works by Luke Reidy. Visitors will also experience Tom Phelan’s luminous explorations of shifting light and colour, complemented by the intricate graphic etchings of Stephen Lawlor and Robert Russell.
Further highlights include finely crafted etchings by Sophia O’Sullivan, as well as distinctive works by Helen O’Sullivan and Mary O’Connor. Adding depth to the exhibition is a striking large-scale, gilded modular panel work by Alastair Keady.
We are also proud to present Martin Byrne’s inaugural bronze sculpture, Bailiú—meaning “coming together”—a fitting reflection of the spirit of this exhibition.
