RHA President and Curator of Cnuasach, Sínead Ní Mhaonaigh will provide a tour and informal discussion with exhibiting artists Tamsin Snow and John Bensons.
Cnuasach, a group exhibition in the Dr. Tony Ryan Gallery, brings together twenty-one artists in a dialogue between established and emerging artists. Featuring eleven Members of the Royal Hibernian Academy of Arts alongside ten invited artists, the exhibition creates a space for exchange and discovery across generations, practices and perspectives.
The exhibition presents four recurring themes: landscape, portraiture, grids and abstraction. While distinct in their histories and visual languages, these subjects provide a framework through which the artists explore questions of perception, structure, space, memory and approaches to image-making.
Exhibiting artists include:
Tinka Bechert, John Bensons, George Bolster, Joanne Boyle, Elaine Byrne ARHA, Amanda Coogan, Dorothy Cross RHA, Martin Gale RHA, Jason Gubbiotti, Pat Harris RHA, Eithne Jordan RHA, Elva Mulchrone, Abigail O’Brien PPRHA, Maria Simonds-Gooding RHA, Geraldine O’Neill RHA, Armelle Skatulski, Tamsin Snow, Charles Tyrrell RHA and Michael Wolf.
