WHYTE'S IRISH ART 28 MAY 2018

IMPORTANT IRISH ART · 28 MAY 2018 AT 6PM 225 Ruth Rogers UNTITLED, 1999 digital print on perspex with label on reverse 17.50 by 23.50in. (44.5 by 59.7cm) Rogers studied at NCAD from 1996 - 1999 obtaining a 1st Class Honours from the painting Department. Her work concerns itself with unmaking something large and unknowable, to create anti-images, a sharp rebuke to the ease with which our culture produces and consumes images. “Essentially I want to set up a sort of push and pull between functioning as straightforward pictorial or compositional devices on the one hand and what we might call narrative devices on the other.” Rogers has said of her work for the CAP Foundation Art Award 2000. In this image a circular black mark is inserted into the picture plane so that instead of playing with an inflatable beach ball, a circle of swimmers find an immense black hole hover- ing over them. A violent interference with paradise. Rogers has also been honoured with the Arts Council of Ireland Artflight Award (Milan/Venice). Exhi- bitions include a solo show at Kilkenny Arts Festival as well as group exhibitions EV + A, Limerick City Gallery and Absolut Secret, RHA Gallery Dublin. €150-€200 (£130-£180 approx.)
