Ciaran Murphy
Paintings: Throughout
Providing a backdrop to these happenings Ciarán Murphy will arrange his work ech week in the gallery from a series of paintings currently under production. The work takes its starting point from disparate imagery that reflects and express mankind's changing vision of the natural world. A limited amount of information is given in each painting, which serves to frustrate the possibility of categorisation and identification. The meaning of one painting becomes both reliant and unhinged in the context of the wider group and it is this idea that will be explored by the artist who will exhibit three combinations of his work throughout this show.
Programmed by Gavin Delahunty
Events will be held in the gallery. Admission is free.
