The group exhibition ‘Bándearg’ (Pink) is set to open at Books At One in Louisburgh, County Mayo, featuring the work of five female artists based in Ireland. The show explores the color pink as both a physical medium and a complex cultural symbol, showcasing a diverse range of artistic approaches including the bold, hard-edge op art of Elphin-based artist Nickie Harrington.
This local exhibition highlights the regional art scene in the west of Ireland and provides a platform for contemporary female artists to engage with color theory and perception. By focusing on Harrington’s work in murals and public installations alongside other practitioners, the event underscores the importance of community-based art spaces in fostering professional artistic dialogue outside of major urban centers.
