(MENAFN- Pressat) LAUNCH: Saturday 4 October 2025, 7–9pm

Dura is an exhibition of new work by Ciarraí MacCormac. Her work centres on a highly attuned bearing toward the materiality of paint, engaging specifically with what she calls 'paint skins'. Ciarraí's paintings aim to challenge the perceptions of materiality, function and how painting can exist. The paint skins have a shapeshifting quality, they are always in a transitory state and never quite caught. The operations of reconfiguration and chance are at the forefront of making. Recurring themes in Ciarraí's work are: care, intervention and renewal.
