Ciarraí MacCormac – Dura

Dura by artist Ciarraí MacCormac contains a new body of work comprising painting, sculpture and works on paper. The polyglot sensibility of paint is what keeps Ciarraí drawn to working with this material.

The artist has applied her research into pristine preservation within bodies and operative techniques to give a new lease of life and longevity into her paintings. Within the works, there is a layering of liveness and cross sections of surface to create a focus on imagined compartments within the body. The works are constructed from poly materials using primary colours of red, blue and yellow. Their peripheral shapes and use of repetitive accumulation aim to create a sense of dilution throughout the exhibition.
