Freefall by Marie Connele
CLARE Arts Office and Clare Museum are delighted to present ‘Dúlamán na Farraige’, an art exhibition by artist Marie Connole.
Marie Connole, MFA, is an award-winning artist who exhibits internationally, whose work is centred in the unique soul of her native Clare and its coastline.
Within an atmosphere of oceanic melancholia, her new exhibition ‘Dúlamán na Farraige’ unites seaweed gathering traditions and scientific research. These contemporary watercolours celebrate this overlap between the human world and the natural world.
‘Dúlamán’ is the Irish word for a type of seaweed. This new work expands on Connole’s previous exhibition at the Irish Arts Center in New York. Sublime figures of hybrid sea creatures, informed by folklore, dwell in an aquatic underworld. The merging of their bodies with seaweed conveying an intensity of human emotion.
‘Dúlamán na Farraige’ entices us to reflect on our coastal heritage and the effects climate change pose to our wild Atlantic Ocean.
The exhibition is free of charge and runs from August 1 to September 1.
