'Body, Bodies, Embodied' features paintings, photographs, performance poetry, mixed media and art installations.
Mary McGraw, a member of the board directors of the 126 Artist-run Gallery, said:"We wanted to celebrate the body as a vessel, particularly bodies that have been stigmatised, sexualised and not afforded the chance to shine. "We wanted to showcase these bodies with dignity and pride in our gallery and show how we're all in contrast and conversation with one another."Themes of darkness and light are running through the variety of work on exhibition.
Day Magee, one of the multi-media artists taking part, said:"I'm a performance artist by trade which involves the body as a creative medium."I'm displaying some of my sand paper paintings as well as mixed digital imagery that includes photography and AI portraiture. "I also do video and live performance. Overall my work draws on my experience as a queer person and the 'self talk' that arises from those experiences.The 126 Artist-run Gallery is located in St Bridget's Place in Galway city and is a not-for-profit voluntary space.
