Cartoon Saloon - Secret of Kells
April 8th - 29th
An exhibition of 16 limited edition prints from the 2010 Academy award-nominated film The Secret of Kells by Cartoon Saloon.
Cartoon Saloon is the animation studio based in Kilkenny, established by animators Tomm Moore, Paul Young and Nora Twomey in 1999. The critical success of the studio was recognised when it received an Academy Award nomination for the feature film The Secret of Kells in 2010.
The selection of 16 prints represents the most iconic images from the film and are made up of the key scene illustrations with the inspiration from the Book of Kells itself, combined with elements and interpretations of the natural landscape and wildlife in Ireland.
Limited to 100 copies, they are printed using archival quality pigment inks on Hahnemuhle Cotton Rag fine art paper and are beautifully framed in deep black timber on a floating mount.
