Is anybody watching? Exhibition open all this week for arts festival

Some images from the studio exhibition Is Anybody Watching? currently on show at Shape Art Studio for the Skibbereen Arts Festival week. We're open everyday from 11am - 5pm on Mardyke street. These shots are of the exhibition space but there's plenty more work to see by all three of the artists in their studio spaces and upstairs on the balcony, so call in for a good old nosey around, and meet the artists - at least one of us will be in there each day minding the exhibition and will be happy to stop for a chat and show you around. There are loads of exhibitions on across Skibbereen this week, and maps available around town to help you navigate your way around all the sites.

The exhibition includes brand new collage works from Paul Forde Cialis, available at the very reasonable price of €120 (unframed) so now's your chance to grab an original Forde Cialis. A nude by Rebecca Keyser was recently praised by Cristin Leach Hughes in the Culture section of the Sunday Times and this exhibition features two more of her large expressive life paintings, along with other works. Alison Cronin is continuing her exploration of old photographs, but this new work has taken a diversion into painting, with acrylic works that exploit light and dark to dramatic effect. Her work also includes the first Skibbereen showing of her Jimmy the One installation, previously exhibited at the Courthouse Gallery in  Co. Clare, and Hive Emerging in Waterford.  Don't miss out!
