Launch 4-6pm, 28th March by Tom O Dea, BACK ROOM 20 26 expands NCAD MFA work of Marco Di Sante, supported by Arts Council Agility Award & Artlinks Bursary, curated by Mary Doyle Burke. “The focus of my work is questioning, nature & its meanings. Human relationship with the natural environment evolves continuously over time. The categorisation of living elements created a rift in this relationship. This led to secret areas to fabricate products, away from the public eye. The idea of secrecy adopted by capitalist power which is built on supremacy, leads my work to explore & engage with thematics, such as control, domination, & mass production.

Born in Buenos Aires, Susperregui studied Fine Art at the Escuela Nacional de Bellas Artes Manuel Belgrano in Buenos Aires.

His surrealist work is a personal diary and a love letter to Buenos Aires translated into colour and image through a variety of techniques using materials at hand including newspapers, notebooks and magazines.

Guided by instinct and emotion, and improvising his strokes in the same way a jazz musician improvises musical notes, Susperregui tells life’s stories infused with the spirit of Tango and eroticism. His work seeks to provoke the viewer and exists on a fine line between the permissible and the forbidden.

The Irish Architectural Archive and Askeaton Contemporary Arts are pleased to announce The trackmaker was a sluggish mover, a solo exhibition by Bryony Dunne.

from the earth presents new and recent works by Margo McNulty, an artist whose practice explores the relationship between memory, place, and materiality. Through painting, printmaking and photography, McNulty reflects on how personal and collective histories become embedded within objects and landscapes. Her work often draws upon Irish traditions and investigates hidden narratives that shape cultural identity.

Born on Achill Island, Co. Mayo, McNulty studied Fine Art at GMIT and completed her MFA at NCAD, Dublin. She currently lives and works in Co. Roscommon.

An exhibition celebrating the beauty in the ordinary. “Line has always been foremost in my work practice, and for many years I worked solely in etching. After almost 40 years, I decided to move away from the toxic materials and acids I had been using, to employing greener methods. With the move to dry point, I have returned to my first love; drawing. I also like the challenge with working on acetate sheets as there is little or no way of correcting a mark made. This decision to change was made during the pandemic.

Opening: Sunday 1 March 2026 3pm to 5pm.
Closing Saturday 28 March 2026 4pm.

Pallas Projects are pleased to present Fiona Marron—The centrality of bodies, the second exhibition of our 2026 Artist-Initiated Projects programme.

Filial Love is an intimate exhibition that brings together sculpture, video and wall-mounted works to explore nature through the lens of familial bonds. The exhibition is anchored by a freestanding central installation: a full-length, human-scaled, floral resin cloak, positioned in dialogue with a granite boulder. These elements form a meditation on protection, labour and enduring care – personal, generational and ecological.

The winners of both awards will be announced at the opening of the exhibition on Thursday, 12 February 2026.

This exhibition presents a rare opportunity to experience – and for discerning collectors, to acquire – the finest work from Ireland’s most exciting new generation of painters.

Inhale Exhale – Ecologies That Refuse to Behave is an ambitious solo exhibition by artist Fiona McDonald, unfolding as a quiet insurgency staged through peatlands, sensors, and slow code. Across the project, McDonald hijacks the tools of climate science – flux towers, CO₂ sensors, automated chambers – and reroutes them into something they were never designed for: ecological intimacy. Developed through years embedded with the National Parks and Wildlife Service NPWS, these instruments are treated not as neutral data-harvesting devices but as collaborators, shaped by shared data, trust, and sustained attention.

Inga Ryan works in series. In Deep depicts human figures under water. She uses contrasting tones, intense colours and dramatic body language to convey action, movement, strength and a sense of a story unfolding. Some paintings are still, capturing quiet moments that suggest vulnerability. Throughout the works there is an element of ambiguity, raising the question of whether the immersed figure is playing, floating freely, or caught in something more unsettling. Ryan’s use of semi-abstraction reinforces this uncertainty, allowing the viewer to decide the narrative.

Exhibition continues from 13/02/2026 to 29/03/2026.

The Royal Hibernian Academy of Arts is delighted to announce that artists Eileen Leonard Sealy and Daniel Coleman have been awarded the Hennessy Craig Award 2026 and artists Manar Mervat Al Shouha and Conor O’Connell have been awarded the Homan Potterton Award, 2026.

SO Fine Art Editions Announces Margins: Fine art Photography by Michael Corrigan.

Preview: 5th March 5 – 7.30 pm and continues until the 4th April.

In ‘Margins’, Michael Corrigan presents a contemplative body of photographic work that reflects upon what lies at the edge: of land, sea and sky; of moments passing; of perception itself. The title carries multiple meanings and references; geographical, temporal, philosophical and poetic, and invites viewers to slow their gaze and consider what is often peripheral or taken for granted.

Bridge Street Studios will celebrate its 30th anniversary with an exhibition, ‘The things that matter most are the things that can’t be seen,’ hosted at the Basement Gallery, An Táin Arts Centre, Dundalk. The exhibition opens on Wednesday February 25th at 7pm and runs to April 4th. It features work by eight artists and craftspeople including Orlaith Cullinane, Rachel Tinniswood, Mary Cowan, Suzanne Carroll, Caóilfíonn Murphy O’Hanlon, Orla Barry, Sarah McKenna, and Fiona Quigley. The exhibition serves as a testament to the importance of shared creative environments and how that can creatively sustain the individual’s artistic development.

IMMA Collection: Art as Agency is a major three-year display celebrating IMMA’s Permanent Collection as a source of agency and knowledge. Featuring over 100 artists, from the 1960s to the present, it highlights key works, including many recent acquisitions. This ambitious exhibition invites engagement and research over time, allowing for a rich durational experience of Ireland’s Modern and Contemporary Art Collection.

Through thematic, chronological, geographical, and media-based approaches, the exhibition examines how artworks connect across time and contexts, fostering new interpretations and relevance. Works from the 1960s to the 1980s evoke the foundational story of the Irish art world. While acknowledging the context of the modernist, predominantly male dominance of that era, the exhibition also spotlights the material innovation and socially engaged practices of others who persisted despite the relatively conservative status quo.

The exhibition also presents more recent practice that explores urgent global themes such as gender, hybridity, cultural histories, de-colonialism, diaspora, migration, food injustice, climate, and ecological change. Memory, imagination, and storytelling play pivotal roles in these works, offering generative ways to process fragmentation, dislocation, and survival in unfamiliar spaces. New and existing works in the IMMA grounds will extend these themes.

The exhibition includes a specially created ‘white cube’ gallery space inspired by Brian O’Doherty’s renowned series of essays Inside the White Cube – The Ideology of the Gallery Space (1976), that critiques the auratic, market-driven effects of the white cube gallery format. Likewise the choice of works curated for this space pushes back by highlighting works by Post-War American women, pioneering conceptualist artworks by Marcel Duchamp and Brian O’Doherty as well as a contemporary feminist response by Andrea Geyer.

By interweaving historical and contemporary narratives, Art as Agency invites audiences to reflect on the evolving meanings and possibilities of art in shaping our understanding of and action in the world.

This is the first solo exhibition by renowned artist, poet and activist Cecilia Vicuña in Ireland. For this exhibition Vicuña’s delves into themes of ancestry, ecological urgency, and the interconnectedness of humanity inspired by the discovery of her ancient ties to Ireland.

Through painting, printmaking and photography, McNulty reflects on how personal and collective histories become embedded within objects and landscapes.

Pallas Projects/Studios are delighted to announce the participating artists in our Arts Council funded programme of Artist-Initiated Projects 2026. The series will be part of a programme celebrating 30 years of Pallas Projects/Studios. Between January–December 2026 we will present 8 x 3-week exhibitions of new work by:

Paddy Critchley, Fiona Marron, Finn Nichol, Emma Brennan and Thomas Wells, Ciara Rodgers, Struàn Bell, Christopher Mahon, neonatus.exe

Maryam Tafakory is a UK-based, Iranian artist filmmaker who makes textual and filmic collages. Her work interweaves poetry, archival, and found material to explore depictions of erasure, secrecy, and censorship. In her essayistic videos, images and scenes drawn from a vast archive of films are reworked to examine intimacy, desire, and prohibition. She works with film and performance and is the 2024 winner of the Film London Jarman Award.

VISUAL is pleased to present DRILL, newly commissioned exhibition of moving image and sound installation by Naomi Sex. Working with both professional and non-actors, Sex has written and directed a series of scripted performances. These vignettes consider language, social interaction, absurdity and the limits of understanding. DRILL comprises a series of monitors, speakers and projectors, which present each piece as distinct but interrelated episodes, linked to each other in an installation that places the viewer in the centre of the work.

VISUAL is pleased to present Interloper, the first project by Anne Hardy in Ireland. For this exhibition of existing and newly commissioned works, Hardy has responded to the distinct architecture of VISUAL; the concrete and glass of the Link Gallery and its connection to the ornamental pond seen through the large windows, and the blank canvas of the Studio Gallery’s white cube design and its heavily patinated floor. Interloper marks a continued evolution in Hardy’s practice.

“Now now” by Andy Fitz uses language to record a passing moment in time. An out-of-date present is rearranged in minute detail as though the process might reveal something. Time remains static – the food never grows mouldy. Unremarkable domestic objects are balanced across the gallery in precarious abstraction from their usual surroundings. “Now now” is also a phrase whose function and meaning is dependent on tone; it can be understood as a warning, or a consolation. The sculptures build on these unresolved tensions; the personal in the political, the present in light of the past.

DCU Art Collection is honoured to receive a significant donation of fine art prints from artist and master printer James McCreary, one of Ireland’s most respected figures in printmaking, and his wife Elizabeth McCreary.

To celebrate this generous donation DCU are hosting an exhibition of of selected works from the James and Elizabeth McCreary Collection on DCU St. Patrick’s Campus. Featuring works by Jane O’Malley, A.R. Penck, Niall Naessens, James McCreary, Tony O’Malley, Maria Simonds-Gooding, Michael Cullen and others, the exhibition offers a rich insight into contemporary printmaking and the spirit of personal collecting.

A multidisciplinary group exhibition featuring new and existing work by Tara Carroll, Sian Costello, Phelim Hoey, Áine O’ Hara, Day Magee, and Rajinder Singh. Curated by Aoife Banks. Affective Forms is a multidisciplinary group exhibition that explores evolving representations of the human body in contemporary Irish art through painting, photography, sculpture, and film. In Affective Forms, the works foreground sensation, relation, and response, positioning the body as a site where personal experience and broader social forces converge.

The winners of both awards will be announced at the opening of the exhibition on Thursday, 12 February 2026.

This exhibition presents a rare opportunity to experience – and for discerning collectors, to acquire – the finest work from Ireland’s most exciting new generation of painters.

Opening Night: Thursday 26 February.

This exhibition of paintings and mixed-media sculptures by Bennie Reilly draws on her interest in museum collections, natural history, and her own interactions with the natural world. Her paintings stem from an ever growing archive of personal photographs, while her sculptural works combine bric-a-brac and natural artefacts collected over many years. Together, these artworks celebrate the oddities and allure of nature and its positive impact on our well-being.
The title derives from graffiti Reilly saw in a derelict hut overlooking a scenic salt lake in Formentera: “Follow your dream.” I
