Beautiful Man

Talbot Gallery & Studios, Dublin

Inspired by the poetry of Kathy Enders, Beautiful Man is realised through the art of printmaking by both Irish and International artists.

Kathy Enders is a young Irish poet in her mid twenties and has been based in Dublin most of her life. Her mother is Irish, an artist and her father was German, born in the Late 1940’s and died when the poet was a young child. Both parents have played an important part in shaping her life and the poetry that she writes.

When a group of artists read Kathy’s poetry they were moved by her words and the imagery it conjured. Seven of these artists have interpreted Kathy’s work by taking an emotion or a line from the poetry that draws a reflection on their own lives, they have brought the poetry to life in their own unique style.

‘Beautiful Man is a collection that began as something deeply rooted in my own life experience, but ever since the involvement of the seven artists who are responding to it, it has become for me, a reflection of all human experience, marked by the revelations and epiphanies we all share in moments of great joy, sadness, and anger. Even in our great diversity we are united in our struggles, and this exhibition is that story'.

The artists Nickie Hayden, Niamh Flanagan, Jahee Sargent, Siobhan Hyde, Marta Wakula Mac, Caroline Patten, Kath Van Uytrecht and poet Kathy Enders have come together for this very special and intimate exhibition.

A beautiful illustrated publication of Kathy’s poetry and artists prints will accompany the exhibition at Talbot Gallery Studios.

On the back of this exhibition we aim to reach even further into the local community here in Dublin.

Also to travel with the exhibition to selected visual art venues in Ireland. Our objective is to facilitate print workshops alongside poetry readings and creative writing activities to some of the schools in our locality. Through artistic expression we will strive to be an instrument in promoting positive change
