For the months of September and October the Atypical Gallery will host the wonderful Larry MacAree, our featured visual artist for the Bounce Arts Festival 2022. The exhibition is an interactive, immersive and rich journey through Larry’s life; his art, his voice, his stuff, Lego, photos, action men, and collages. You will encounter Larry’s particular way of navigating visually through the world, documenting as he goes.

“It’s an exhibition about my life. I’ve always been an artist for a long time. I’m related to an artist, thousands of years back.” (Larry MacAree)
