If you're around Dublin over the next few weeks, be sure to check out 'Shoot the Tiger', a group exhibition featuring 3 of my drawings from the Mangan's Series. Press release below...
"PrettyvacanT Dublin presents ‘Shoot the Tiger’, a group exhibition showcasing artwork created since 2008 under the new constraints of an economically damaged nation.
'Shoot the Tiger' artists are: Aoife Flynn | Declan Greaney | Amy McGovern | Eilis Murphy | Noel Noblett | La Cosa Preziosa | Blaithin Quinn
The work represents an emotional and artistic response to a post-Crash Ireland and features artists working to make their voice heard in an ever- uncertain economic reality. The art represents concepts of decline, collapse and failure, but also of optimism and hope.
The exhibition will take place in one of the many newly-constructed yet vacant retail units filling our streets and towns, creating a new urban landscape. PrettyvacanT Dublin was invited by Dublin City Council Arts Office to enliven one of its empty units through a pilot scheme designating the space for cultural use.
'Shoot the Tiger' continues at Unit 3, James Joyce Street until 31st March.
Open Tuesday - Saturday, 12 - 5pm (Closed St Patrick's Day)"
