IrishLight aims to draw together the best of Irish-based landscape photgraphers. An t-Oileán: The Island is a group exhibition by Ireland’s leading landscape photographers Daragh Muldowney, George Karbus, Michael McLaughlin, Norman McCloskey, Peter Cox ,| Peter Gordon, and Rohan Reilly.
This is a chance to see Ireland’s best landscape photographers all under one roof with a unique concept and brand new work. From Dalkey Island to Inis Mor and back to the Skelligs, they scan the fringes for some truly breathtaking images. The artists have taken separate journeys across some of Ireland’s most remote island landscapes to interpret the meaning and energy of the Irish islands.
In a statement that artists’ have said: “It seemed fitting to explore the notion of islands as individuals and bring the work together to see if common themes would emerge. Would our personal styles overwrite the very nature of our surroundings or would the work find a collective expression that ties the exhibition together?”
In exploring the islands and the isolation that inhabits them, the artists have created a moving, atmospheric and evocative exhibition that guarantees to stir the imagination and the soul.
