Between Two Worlds - A solo show by Emma Stroude
30/01/2025 - 09/02/2025
Between Two Worlds featured a series of figurative paintings that explored themes of performance, identity, and resilience. Stroude’s work invites viewers to reflect on the experience of inhabiting the body, physically, emotionally, and mentally. The figures in her paintings often seem to be caught in moments of challenge or discomfort, yet they also show strength and the ability to endure.
The exhibition encourages us to think about how we cope with adversity and find resilience in tough situations. Stroude’s personal story is embedded in each piece, but the works also reach out to viewers, offering a space for empathy and shared human experience.
A solo exhibition by Sligo-based artist Emma Stroude. This exhibition was part of the Féile na mBan Festival, a celebration of women’s achievements in arts, music, activism and more.
