Cristín Leach, To the Line, 2023, wooden sculpture, 6 x 6 x 6cm | Connections | Saturday 8 February – Saturday 5 April 2025 | Luan Gallery | Image: Cristín Leach, To the Line, 2023, wooden sculpture, 6 x 6 x 6cm | a photo of a wooden cube – possibly made of pine – opened out into eight sub-cubes in a double-decker line; each side of the sub-cube has a phrase written on it – e.g., ‘to the world’, ‘hand in hand’, ‘to the floor’, ’flip’, ‘as trucks pass’, ‘where the city begins’; the ground and background are very white, with only minor shadows

Luan Gallery is delighted to present Connections, a Cross-Border Exhibition of Contemporary Art from the OPW State Art Collection and the Northern Ireland Civil Service Collection.

The exhibition explores the theme of connections—examining how artworks relate to one another through shared ideas, themes, and creative approaches. It showcases the intricate links between diverse artistic expressions, bringing together painting, photography, print, and sculpture into a cohesive and thought-provoking narrative.
