Bernadette Kiely: We look at the world once…
Taylor Galleries warmly invites you to the launch of we look at the world once…, selected works and words 2015–2025 by Bernadette Kiely
In celebration of Bernadette Kiely’s new book spanning a decade of exhibitions, and the recent acquisition of her drawings by the National Gallery of Ireland, Taylor Galleries is delighted to present a book launch alongside the exhibition of canvases and drawings from 1996–2026.
The 150-page fully illustrated publication, designed by Peter Maybury, features documentation of recent exhibitions including Don’t Need No Country, Don’t Fly No Flag(Galway International Arts Festival 2024) and Ashes and Rain (Regional Cultural Centre, Letterkenny 2025), with a foreword by Eamonn Maxwell and contributions from leading writers and critics.
Approximately 40 drawings spanning three decades will be exhibited, exploring landscape, deep time, environmental change, and the fragility of human life.
The evening will also include a screening of as water flows… (12 min film) by Amelia Caulfield.
Signed copies of the book will be available on the night.
