Co WIcklow Mermaid Arts Centre: Home by Brian Maguire
This exhibition of new paintings launches the completion of the artists’ commission as part of Wicklow County Council’s Per Cent for Art Commissioning Programme 2006 – 2009.
Brian Maguire was commissioned to make new work arising from the construction of Wicklow County Council’s first dedicated Library building in Blessington.
Choosing the idea of place and new communities, he met with new entrants to the town of Blessington both from Ireland and abroad.
Blessington is now home to people from Poland, Tallaght, Japan, Brussels and Cameroon.
Researching each place and the accompanying way of life brought forward interesting social and aesthetic issues for the artist leading him to develop this new body of work.
The exhibition features this new work in full and is accompanied by an artist’s book. This work is presented by Wicklow County Arts Office and will be supported by an education and access programme for schools, for further information contact wao@wicklowcoco.ie
