Damien Flood: Terra Incognita | Saturday 9 July – Saturday 27 August 2016 | Municipal Gallery

For this exhibition, painter Damien Flood (born 1979) will create a new body of work that explores geographical elements of Dún Laoghaire and investigate the cultural histories of the landscape. This new work will also respond to the modern town and what it means to the local community. This exhibition will continue his interest in creating psycho-geographies of places, mixing verbal histories with personal experience.

The research for this show includes interviews will local residents and retailers from the area as well as looking at Dún Laoghaire’s past, both historical and personal. The  paintings aim to capture a psychological portrait of the Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown area and its people. They will give the viewer a new way to view a place known so well.

Damien Flood was selected for this exhibition following an open call.
