Shifting Ground is an outstanding new collection of sculpture in bronze from renowned Irish artist John Behan.

The exhibition, which will open at the Kenny Gallery, Galway on 8^th October, will include works touching on the artist’s experience through the Pandemic and a fleshing out his previous ‘Emigrants’ work including striking new versions of his iconic Famine Ship.

Contemporary refugee imagery features too, and there will also be some new works based on images suggested by the poetry of Seamus Heaney.

The sculpture will be supported by a series of related paintings and drawings in mixed media.

The exhibition will be officially launched by RTÉ’s BRYAN DOBSON at 6.00pm on Friday the 8th October at Kenny’s Liosbán Gallery in Galway.
