Images: six works by artists in the show; all figurative (one of them of a bird), strongly expressive, mostly with corresponding coloration • “The 1980s marked a huge resurgence of figurative painting following a period when the contemporary art scene had been focused on performance and conceptual art. A new, dynamic approach to figurative painting developed almost simultaneously in a number of places including New York, Berlin’s Junge Wilde, France’s Figuration Libre and the Italian Transavanguardia of Cucchi, Chia, Clemente and Paladino. These artists’ intensity created figurative paintings from their own surroundings and experiences that appeared to be a critical examination of the tradition of painting and reflected the enormous societal and cultural shifts of the period. Many of the artists included in this exhibition are those who left a bleak Ireland of the 1980s to integrate with the vibrant contemporary art scenes of Berlin, Paris and elsewhere…”

The exhibition is a series of sculptural objects and a single-channel film that interprets the history, stories, materiality, and the development of technology in the Iron Gates (Gvozdena kapije) region, a deep scenic gorge at Đerdap on the Dunav (Danube) River on the border of Serbia and Romania.

Navigating the past through archival family material such as photographs and home videos, McCoy creates work that is an act of remembering and reimagining, attempting to construct a fantastical past and uncover alternate versions of a real one.⁠…”

Image: apparently a photo from above of a figure floating in water, arms and legs akimbo in, probably a wetsuit; the water is presumably the sea, and near the figure we see various organic shapes that seems like blown-up microscopic plankton; the circular central area of the photo is of normal luminosity, with the photo getting progressively darker towards the edges of the landscape-shape image • “Solomon Fine Art is delighted to host a solo exhibition of new work by one of Ireland’s most celebrated sculptors, Rachel Joynt. Best known for her large scale public sculpture, this new body of work by Joynt is intimate both in scale and nature and includes bronze sculpture, print and moving image.”

Image: Mary Clarke: Melting, Moving, Mesmerising No. 1 | photographic image, but one that blends a view down the steps of an escalator with a passage into a forest; the steps in front of us become overgrown with moss as they descend; over the escalator and descending with it is what at first glance seems to be a glass tunnel sheltering us from the outside, but in fact it is again a blending of the manufactured and the natural as it is farther from us; it’s a sunny day in the – largely conifer – forest • “This latest exhibition of new work by Navan based artist Mary Clarke explores the themes of climate change and the environment. Mary’s collection of vibrant, layered and abstracted images confronts the viewer, both subtly and directly, in an effort to provoke a reaction. Her work engages with the audience’s imagination, to stimulate conversation, in the hope of igniting positive action.

Image: sculpture of what looks like a very large black earwig with thin steel-bar-like legs and pretty terrifying pincers at the bum end; at the head end, we seem to see a pinned-on photo of a pale human face with too many eyes; the upper body seems to be wearing some sort of messed-up suit; a strange object appears to be attached to one of the critter’s legs – one or more heads made of strange material, papier-mâché or sweets or coloured cotton balls or…; this all seems to be in some sort of gallery space • “Curated by Sara Greavu ( Project Arts Centre) in 2023, Kian Benson Bailes’ Culchie boy, I love you / Grá mo chroí thú, mo chábóigín féin arrives at Mermaid Arts Centre in a new iteration.
