Butler Gallery show features some of the artist’s most urgent tapestry, along with fascinating Greco-Roman-style sculptures and mosaics
For the better part of two decades Ursula Burke has brought to life materials and genre conventions that belong to antiquity. By dusting off and reinterpreting styles from the classical period, Burke makes artworks that rearrange our perspective of the present.
Burke’s new exhibition, Siren, at the Butler Gallery in Kilkenny, contains some of her most urgent tapestry works, including her series Embroidery Frieze , which features scenes of violent disagreement in parliaments across the globe. But most of the work is new and, excitingly, demonstrates the artist’s commitment to expanding her vocabulary into new territories, now including sculpture and mosaic.
