Projects

McCaughey’s work looks at self expression, the way we examine and present ourselves, our attitudes to fashions and our desire for instant approval through the distorting lens of social media.

The show presents an ongoing practice that explores a bodily response to social spaces. Investigated via drawing and painting; it considers how paint can articulate the nuance of these experiences.

The idea for this exhibition has materialised through a continuous dialogue on the areas of convergence within their practices. Both artists approach the subject of place and time through line.

Awkward Interjection is a feminist collective consisting of recent NCAD graduates. Themes that permeate the work include the representation and roles of women, gender, bodies, intimacy, sexuality and female experiences in public and private spheres.

This exhibition consists of collaborative paintings and some individual works by Ito. When creating these collaborative works, the two artists drew one picture.

This exhibition brings together large and small format paintings in which abstract scenes are loosely formed by the suggestion of foliage and puddles, grids and lozenges or prop-like objects and curtains.

The show Plot and Piece is a series of interconnections through both media and philosophical stance. The work spans painting, photo imagery, sculpture and installation and addresses ideas from fragility to trespass.

Upward behind… presents a new body of paintings formed loosely through the narrative of illusory constructs, a reality yielded and infinite abbreviations or associations.

Smile is an exhibition of paintings about nightmares; teeth; anxiety; the ambivalence and possibilities of dreams contrasting with vividity and certainty.

Alien Architecture is a an ongoing response to both Henry’s advice and to the alien specimens found in the collection. Presenting work made over the past two years, this exhibition acts as a conduit for conversation, asking; What is a landscape when it is architected by industry?

The Pinch is an installation of wax rubbings, paper coins, a bench, and a bookwork followed by a performance. Paid for with money scoured from the streets of Dublin, the installation explores the potential of public funding, city mining, and social entrepreneurialism toward decelerated economic opportunities.

Studio amigos during our time in Dublin, this exhibition is a chanceto reunite and continue our conversation about the formal, historicaland emotional aspects of painting.
