This exhibition of paintings and mixed-media sculptures by Bennie Reilly draws on her interest in museum collections, natural history, and her own interactions with the natural world. Her paintings stem from an ever growing archive of personal photographs, while her sculptural works combine bric-a-brac and natural artefacts collected over many years. Together, these artworks celebrate the oddities and allure of nature and its positive impact on our well-being.
Bennie Reilly graduated from the Institute of Art, Design and Technology, Dún Laoghaire and has exhibited widely in Ireland and abroad. Her work is held in public and private collections, including The Arts Council of Ireland, the HSE, Fingal County Council, and Butler Gallery. She is supported by The Arts Council of Ireland Bursary Award and the Thomas Dammann Junior Memorial Trust Award.
