These three artists frequently exhibit together, but this marks their first joint exhibition in Galway. A common theme running through this exhibition is nature, and the artworks in this exhibition surprisingly complement each other remarkably well despite their unique contrasts.

In this current body of work, Fiona Concannon explores the depths of colours she has seen in Connemara sunsets. Using watercolour paints, she finds that this medium lends itself very well to creating the layers of colours that can be seen in the sky, the light constantly changing. Martina Furlong’s work is influenced by the things she sees and experiences daily, most notably landscape and the human-nature relationship. The paintings in this exhibition are an exploration of our spiritual ties to the landscape, and how it links us to our ancestors, history and culture. Marja van Kampen’s paintings are inspired by childhood memories and travel. Her vibrant colour palette and use of patterns are influenced particularly by her travels in India.

The exhibition will be opened by Eithne Verling, Director of Galway City Museum on Friday, April 5th at 6pm at The Kenny Gallery in Liosbán and all are welcome.

‘Trio’ runs at The Kenny Gallery from April 5^th – May 4^th
