'Is this real'
New Work by Yoko Akino & Maev Lenaghan


This innovative two-person show by Maev Lenaghan and Yoko Akino investigates universal themes of environment and the human image. Although the basis for Lenaghan's work lies in representation she observes her subject matter sidelong and laterally, touching on the essential need to communicate. These prints are stories without narrative. On graduating from NCAD in 2002 Lenaghan received the Graphic Studio Dublin graduate award and has since exhibited both in Ireland and abroad.

'Childscapes' - Carmel Benson

Combining figurative and abstract elements, this work is drawn from themes of childhood and nature. Benson's use of corborundum in printmaking creates particularly rich velvety areas of colour and texture. With this strong use of colour, pattern, light and the simplification of perspective, it seeks to explore the integration or isolation of the individual in space and time.

'Dublin Port Print'

Just beyond East Wall Road is a different world. It stretches along the lower reaches of the Liffey buzzing with movement, colour and sound, a dynamic, crowded space full of the hints of other places. Through it we are brought much of the necessary stuff of our everyday lives and yet most of us know little about how it really works.

'Mappa Mundi' - New Topographical Etchings
by Brian Lalor


Mappa Mundi is taken from a great medieval map of the known world, created in Britain in the thirteenth century, in part geographic and in part a work of the imagination. This, to some degree, reflects Lalors approach to landscape, a combination of the factual and the interpretative.
