Helen O’Leary: Irregular Activity
July 19 to August 14, 2013
Opening reception: Saturday, July 20, 3-5 pm
The exhibition will be opened on Saturday, July 20th by Anna O’Sullivan, Director, Butler Gallery, Kilkenny and Commissioner/Curator, Irish Pavilion, Venice Biennale 2013.
This US based, Irish artist disassembles and reassembles studio materials integral to the making of paintings, thereby revealing the pleasures of making art. A recent Guggenheim prize-winner, her work appropriates the languages of art history, craft, and carpentry and transforms them into fields of light and texture that are provocative and joyful.
