A group exhibition exploring the diversity of approaches to painting by a selection of some of the most interesting Irish artists working today. The exhibition includes figurative, abstract, experimental, open and expanded painting practices by established, midcareer and emerging artists. Ideas and themes explored include personal narratives, observations of everyday life, the body, identity and place, the natural world, contemporary culture, history, politics, the real and the virtual, and the materiality and essence of painting.

Several of the paintings are new and exhibited for the first time at Solstice Arts Centre.

Laura Fox, Lesley-Ann O’Connell, William O’Neill and Annette Smyth are based in Co. Meath.
