A group of eight artists from Kinsale and West Cork have come together to exhibit their artwork from 2 July to 7 August (excluding 27-30 July) at The Grainstore, Ballymaloe in East Cork.
The theme of the exhibition is “Artists Celebrating Life”.
The artists include:
Digital artist Dr E Alana James said, “My friends and I see this as a wonderful opportunity for families as well as art collectors to enjoy a summer day out in the very beautiful surroundings of Ballymaloe. The exhibition will open a conversation about how we interpret and celebrate life, in a variety of styles and experiences and one of us will be in residence Thursdays through Sundays each week. We are looking forward to welcoming the public after many months of collaboration and preparation and to chatting about how we use art to express what is most important to us in life”.
Husband and wife artists, Kate and Philip French are thrilled to be showing their sculptures and paintings at this exhibition. “Life is to be celebrated and we visually express our interpretation of life by using different materials, textures and colours. It will be exciting to see the reaction to our work in this unique space in East Cork”.
All eight artists will be present as Artist in Residence on designated dates during the exhibition and will be delighted to discuss their art with visitors.
