Isobel Egan at the Riverbank Arts Centre
Inside Out
7 November – 20 December | Opening: 7 November at 6pm
Riverbank Arts Centre, Main St, Newbridge, Co. Kildare
Emerging visual artist bursary award, Kildare County Council Arts Service, 2014.
Riverbank Arts Centre presents Inside Out, a new exhibition of work by ceramic sculptor Isobel Egan. Isobel has developed this series of wall mounted ceramic sculptures evoking themes of space, stillness and containment. Her aim through the sculptures is to pique the curiosity of the viewer and invite them to explore initially hidden aspects of the pieces.
Inspired by space and architecture, she works with porcelain as the intrinsic characteristics of the material, its translucence and delicate paper-like quality enables the realisation of her concepts.
Isobel’s work has been described as strong, humble and extremely fragile. Her sculptural pieces join the simplicity of form to the complexity of an inner perspective or space.
Join us for the launch of Inside Out, which will be opened by Dr. Audrey Whitty, Ph.D. who has been Keeper of the Art and Industrial Division (Decorative Arts and History), National Museum of Ireland since January 2015.
John Behan and Ger Sweeney at the Hamilton Gallery, Sligo
Icons and Inscapes
6 to 28 November 2015 | Opening Thursday 5 November 6pm
Icons and Inscapes is an exhibition of bronze sculptures by John Behan and paintings by Ger Sweeney. As the sculptor in this show, John Behan exhibits famine ships and boats with voyage as the theme. They symbolise the journey of life in the human collective sense as life is viewed as a journey from birth to death. The impulse is engendered by a dialogue within the artist, the internal inscape from where creativity flows. Painting for Ger Sweeney is a dialogue and an enquiry; themes recur, evolve and become points of departure. A recurring narrative in Sweeney’s work is a sense of landscape, or rather a distilled memory or echo, to be explored through the process of painting and more recently an abstracted form or figure motif has become apparent.
