Taking its name from Soirle MacCana’ s Light and Shade, Youghal, the exhibition features 26 works from the gallery’s extensive collection.

This selection is evocative of Spring, as a season of renewal, herds brought to pasture, new growth in gardens and hopefully good drying weather.

The exhibition is an invitation to discover some lesser-known works and artists in our collection and to enjoy the grand stretch in the evening.

Artists featured include John Arnesby Brown, Gerald Bruen, Sylvia Cooke-Collis, Elizabeth Cope, Stefanie Dinkelbach, Doug DuBois, Brigid Ganly, Adrian Hill, James le Jeune, William John Leech, Soirle MacCana, Sean McSweeney, Cormac Mehegan, Rosaleen Moore, John Murphy, Tom Nisbet, Eva O’Connell, Aloysius O’Kelly, James O’Halloran. Monica Poole, Nikki Tait, Michael Sheehan, Niamh Swanton, Anne Yeats.
