The Fresh to the Salt | Angie Shanahan & Bridget Flannery at Custom House Studios + Gallery

Event Details

The Fresh to the Salt is a two-person exhibition by visual artists Angie Shanahan & Bridget Flannery (posthumously 1959 – 2024) which will be shown in the main gallery space. The exhibition consists of drawings and paintings responding to the artists’ engagement with coastal and riverine landscapes through drawing, sketch booking and mapping. History, placenames and local studies also feed into their preoccupation with the sense of place.

Angie Shanahan’s current practice involves landscape impacted by human presence usually set within a specific water defined place, the coast. She has had numerous solo exhibitions and has participated in numerous group shows nationwide.

During her lifetime, Bridget Flannery’s work was mainly focused on painting and drawing. She consistently exhibited in solo and group shows in Ireland and Europe. Her work is held in public and private collections nationally and internationally.

Please join us on the evening of Thursday 21 August 2025, 6-8pm, opening remarks by Anne Hodge, National Gallery of Ireland and Katriona Gillespie, manager of the Custom House Studios + Gallery.
This exhibition is supported by the Arts Council of Ireland and Mayo County Council.
