Kieran Behan's innovative exhibition

The curved windows of the old Arch Bar in Newbridge are unique in the town's streetscape, and Kilcullen resident artist and photographer Kieran Behan has found a new use for them, writes Brian Byrne.

He's using the windows of the currently-closed premises as a showcase for a series of digital images he has made over the last while, in an innovative take on the concept of street art.

The pieces are devised in many cases by mixing and manipulating external images with his own photographs, offering a new dimension through which to view the world around us and in imagination.

On Thursday evening next the collection will be launched at a gathering outside the Arch Bar at 6pm. For those who can't make it to Newbridge, the entire collection of images can be viewed on the Facebook page titled 'Texting at the old Arch Bar'.
