Last chance to catch this major retrospective on the work of Patricia Hurl. Spanning over 40 years and featuring over 70 of the artist’s expressionist paintings and drawings. Hurl’s oeuvre is by nature political and, since the 1980s, her work has explored loss, pain, frustration and loneliness. Hurl is part of the Na Cailleacha collective who explore being female, older and attendant stereotypes. “There is a certain haunting simplicity in the gesture of each stoke and an understanding of the gestural power which fills each canvas,” says museum director Annie Fletcher about Hurl’s work.
IMMA until May 21.
