ILLUMINATION - Meath Arts Group exhibition at Newgrange Visitors Centre 30th March - 19th April, 2015
Date Released: 16 March 2015
ILLUMINATION
Meath Arts Group is a group of 25 Meath based contemporary artists disciplined in various media – printing. painting, drawing, sculpture, ceramics, glass, textile art and audio and video. Having exhibited both individually and within group shows in Ireland and abroad, Meath Arts Group was formed to allow the participating artists to explore shared ideas. The group meet on a regular basis to plan exhibitions, collaborate on themes and learn new skills. At various intervals artists share their ongoing work, thus unavoidably shaping and shifting how the theme is being read.
Through the theme of Illumination the artists are inspired by and responding to the light phenomenon of Solstice at Newgrange.
The varied subjects of the exhibits represents the distinctive characters of the members of this group and the art works will create a tapestry of all the individual artist's interpretations of the theme.
We aim to challenge the viewer’s expectations of artistic expression by using different materials and processes to capture the diversity of interpretation of a theme like this while blurring the boundaries between reality and art.
