art exhibition

A rescheduled group exhibition is due to open at R-Space Gallery in Lisburn next weekend.

‘Obvious’ runs from November 14 - December 11 at the Castle Street gallery, and will preview online from November 7.

Six Northern Ireland-based artists - Aimée Nelson, Aoife O’Connor, Gary Shaw, Jill Phillips, Mr. Papers, and Pauline Clancy - have been selected from an open call as part of the gallery’s Materials, Messages and Meaning series.

Now in their eighth year, these exhibitions explore artists’ different approaches to materials, methods of production and messages within their work. A spokesperson for R Space Gallery explained: “This year we have selected artists who have responded to the theme ‘Obvious’, and the works include interactive screen printing, mixed media installations, digital imaging, and folk art.”

R Space is a visual arts and crafts space, presenting and commissioning a programme of exhibitions and arts activity.

Based in The Linen Rooms, in the heart of the City of Lisburn, R Space’s ambition is to increase access, understanding and enjoyment of contemporary visual arts, crafts, design and other related arts activities.

Admission to the exhibition is free.
