Opening Reception Thursday 6 June at 7pm • To be opened by Edward Murphy, NCAD

Surrendering ‘the self’ to the sensory elements of colour, form and sound is at the core of Aisling Conroy’s work. Her work is multi-disciplinary using painting, sculpture, sound, and installation and attempts to emulate the notion of ‘the sublime’ that is often experienced when viewing art; most notably in galleries, museums and in various forms of public sculpture and architecture, such as, monuments, churches, and shrines. Conroy uses the duality of dark and light, colour and form, in her painting, installation and sound work, and with this, creates abstractions of various models of sacred art, iconism and veneration, in ritualistic manifestations.

Aisling graduated from NCAD with a BA Hons degree in 2009 and an MFA in 2011. She is a resident artist at the Talbot Gallery and Studios in Dublin and has exhibited in various venues around Ireland, as well as having exhibited abroad in the US, China and India. Her most recent selected exhibitions include, Prism, solo show, The Talbot Gallery, Dublin (2013), From the Dawning, solo show, Studio Verve, Ahmedabad India (2012), Fast Moving Consumer Goods, The Talbot Gallery, Dublin (2012), Level Open , Dunamaise Arts Centre, Portlaoise (2012), Without Memory, Without Expectation, solo show, The Dunamaise Arts Centre, Portlaoise (2011).
