SUMMARY:Extra Alphabets | Mairead O'hEocha at The Model
DESCRIPTION:Mairead O’hEocha\; Extra AlphabetsSat. 5 Jul. – Sat. 20 Sep
 . 2025Curated by Michael Hill\nMairead O’hEocha’s recent paintings cas
 t an array of extraordinary and everyday tabletop scenes that float in and
  out from the facts and furnishings of their surrounds: birds invade a gar
 den lunch\, an octopus coils its tentacles in a trophy room\, a fake loaf 
 of bread sits solemnly at the tenement museum\; a blizzard is observed fro
 m the comfort of a home workspace.\nO’hEocha’s paintings consolidate a
  variety of recurring themes: how to depict ‘the natural world’ and ou
 r relationship with it\, sensory encounters and digital space. Extra Alpha
 bets is the largest gathering of O’hEocha’s work in an exhibition to d
 ate. The focus is on a group of new large-scale oil paintings\, with a num
 ber of unseen works\, plus a selection from international exhibitions\, ad
 ding to this overview of the artist’s practice. The exhibition also incl
 udes painted interventions that charge the gallery’s walls\, bringing O
 ’hEocha’s work into close conversation with The Model's unique archite
 cture. These painted elements play with the perimeters of the exhibition s
 pace\, so the cabinets\, windows\, animals\, glass objects\, tables and th
 eir horizon lines – O’hEocha's register of motifs – expand\, absorb 
 and reflect her approach to painting\, and its forms of display.\\\nArtist
