Clare and Enagh Monster Truck

Preview: Thursday 6 March 6-8pm
Exhibition Continues: Friday 7 - Tuesday 18 March:

March at Monster Truck Gallery & Studios brings together two diverse exhibitions by three emerging Irish artists.

The first of these will last for 2 weeks and brings together two artists who are concerned with the fragile architecture of feminine identity and memories. These are the themes which sew the work of Clare-Louise Bligh and Enagh Farrell together. Through installation, drawing, photography and performance, the artists invite the viewer to step into a world of sparkling sugar objects that are beautiful, yet brittle to touch. Private and delicate images are layered into ancient pages of books.

Using domestic elements such as old flowery wallpaper Old peeling flowery wallpaper drawn on the walls, and old books abounding with female performance imagery, the two rooms of the gallery are transformed through the artists subtle interventions. Bligh and Farrell deal with notions of beauty, transience and eventual decay, entwining the realms of surrealisms, spirituality, identity, femininity and the uncanny.

Both Bligh and Farrell studied at the National College of Art and design, and have exhibited in diverse settings in Ireland and abroad. Bligh completed a post graduate degree in Fine art at Cyprus College of Art in 2006, and Farrel recently exhibited in her first solo exhibition at the Signal Arts Centre, Bray.
