The first solo exhibition in this year’s Hunt Contemporary series is Face Maker by Irish artist Patrick Redmond.
Through this new programme the Hunt Museum aims to promote contemporary Irish art and foster a connection between the public and visual art, encouraging discussion and engagement with modern painting practices. In this new work, a series of small head-and-shoulder portraits bring together the polished glamour of 1940s film actors and the unsettling features of ventriloquist dummies. Painted in monochrome, the works evoke classic studio publicity stills while quietly undoing their promise of charm and control.
Events published on Limerick.ie are subject to change. Readers are advised to check with the organiser for further details.
