Bounty comprises recent work by Diana Copperwhite and Aileen Murphy. The impetus to show the work side by side has arisen from the mutual admiration and affinities that exist between the two artists in their subject matter and their handling of the medium of paint.

Both Copperwhite and Murphy create works that incorporate aspects of abstraction and figuration and both painters are fully taken up with the act of painting and the materiality of paint. There are also similarities in their approach and while the paintings often appear intuitive and whimsical, they evolve through layers of assertion and contradiction. Their scale and the movement within these works demonstrate a spontaneous and frenetic pace of activity that is further heightened by their relation to each other in the space.
