Ireland-India exhibition

A travelling fine-art contemporary art exhibition on the theme of cross cultural connections between Ireland and India has begun its tour in Riverbank Arts Centre, Newbridge. It will run until May 7.

The show, titled Where Siva meets Medb, promoted by the Leinster Print Studio in Clane, celebrates two of the great legendary figures in the respective mythologies of the two people.



Pictured above is one of the exhibits, Dance and Sing by Constance Short.

This is a pioneering venture for an Irish print studio in looking beyond the conventional preoccupations of Irish art, towards a multicultural world.

The more familiar media of intaglio and relief prints are shown side by side with carborundum and digital media, newcomers to the field of printmaking.
