This is a joint exhibition featuring the works of Irish artist and printmaker Ireland 3000 and American figurative artist David Manno.

Employing the body as a shared point of departure, concepts related to figuration, narrative and iconography are presented in a visually high-contrast dialogue that probes the overlapping meanings of figuration in contemporary art. Morality, existential disquiet, faith and systems of intrapersonal navigation are given space to elicit divergent responses to the human form, questioning the body as the site where interiority and objectivity manifest.

Ireland 3000’s work reflects and challenges the profound influence of Christianity on society, how it has influenced our perceptions of morality, spirituality, and even aesthetics. By reinterpreting iconic Catholic imagery from artists like Caravaggio, Rubens, and Gentileschi through the medium of large-format woodcut prints he can also confront the stereotypes of originality while drawing parallels between religious devotion and the faith required in the creative process.

David Manno’s body of work is characterized by abstract yet visceral depictions of the body, using materials and methodologies that strive to evoke the sensory essence of corporeality. This discourse enriches the comprehension of how bodily representation can act as a conduit for addressing deep-seated human discomforts with physicality, alienation, and mortality. In doing so, the work provides a means to process, confront, and perhaps transcend the discomforts of physical existence.
