Kevin Lowery Gallery & Studio
Between Land and Sea, Reflections on the North West Coast
The Kevin Lowery Gallery is excited to present its upcoming exhibition: Between Land and Sea, Reflections on the North West Coast.
A multidisciplinary group exhibition displaying work by visual artists Jonathan Ball, Concepta Boyce, Lisa Callaghan, Aisling Clarke, Vicky Crawford, Gavin Mc Crea, Rory Gill, Darragh Gorman, Christine Harrison and Kevin Lowery.
Three counties: Donegal, Leitrim, and Sligo, are linked by their western shorelines on Donegal Bay. Bound together by the Atlantic, this wild expanse of coastline has inspired and captivated artists for generations.
One of the most remote corners of Ireland, the North West coastline is renowned for its ancient cliffs, expansive beaches, crashing waves and hidden enclaves. It stands as a testament to the enduring power of nature and its profound influence on the traditions of coastal communities. It is a place of contrasts, where isolation meets connection, and resilience is woven into the fabric of everyday life. The rugged shorelines with their rich and varied landscapes, offer a unique lens through which to explore the communities of people and diverse species who thrive and survive along these shores.
In this exhibition, artists explore the unique intersection of land and sea, delving into the deep connections between the environment and the lives of those who inhabit this remarkable coast. Visit the exhibition for a chance to enjoy contemporary art that engages with the challenges and possibilities of living in constant conversation with the sea. Witness the impact the ocean has had on shaping local art and culture, and take a moment to reflect on the importance of environmental and ecological preservation of our coastlines.
Celebrate with us at 6PM on Friday September 27th, when local Clr. Niamh Kennedy, Cathaoirleach of Donegal County Council, will officially open the exhibition. Come along and join us for an evening of art, wine and conversation. All are welcome, and we hope to see you there!
