Preview Thursday 7 July 6-8pm

Out of Order is the fourth solo exhibition by Niall de Buitlear and his second at the LAB. The exhibition will feature a large series of small-scale paper sculptures and a complimentary series of drawings. The artist has employed a loose system based on a three by three grid of circles to generate a family of forms. Although the work is based on a geometric structure it has an organic, hand-made quality. These works have developed from previous large-scale cardboard sculptures recently exhibited at the RHA and the Wexford Arts Centre.
