Waterford Gallery of Art 05/12/2024 to 05/04/2025
We are delighted to present GROUND (two-unfold), the first iteration of Susan Connolly’s exhibition GROUND (100+one), originally commissioned by the F.E. McWilliam Gallery and Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council. GROUND (100+one) saw Connolly consider what one hundred plus one years of abstraction on the island of Ireland could mean for Irish painting today. Taking Mainie Jellett’s now celebrated painting, Decoration (1923) as the work that first introduced an Irish audience to abstraction, Connolly set herself the task of making 100 paintings on canvas as an homage but more importantly as a way to tease out and make visible questions that have intrigued her own established abstract painting practice.
