Mary St Leger and Bríd Moynahan are holding a joint exhibition of their artwork in West End Studios Mallow. The show runs from November 21st to the 8th of December (gallery opens Thursdays to Sundays). The show will be opened on Friday 21st of November at 6pm by Sarah Jayne Booth, a well-known multimedia artist who heads up the artist collective, r.a.g.e. (Realising Absolute Gender Equality).
The exhibition, ‘For the Birds,’ showcases new works from the distinctive Cork artists. Mary and Bríd have admired each other’s work for many years. They both explore similar themes and they knew that the common thread in their work would make for a strong exhibition.
Bríd is a graduate of the Crawford College of Art and Design and lives in Newmarket, county Cork. She is currently a member of Cork Printmakers where she specialises in etching and paints in her studio in North Cork.
Mary is living in Doneraile and is a graduate from LSAD. She holds a Masters in Fine Art from the University of Central England and a Masters in Women’s Studies from The University of Limerick.
They’ve worked hard all year to create this show that includes paintings, etchings and sculpture. The artwork is sometimes surreal and playful while addressing themes of both childhood and matriarchy. These pieces would make a truly unique Christmas gift for any home.
