Title: Ireland: Mythos to Modernity
An exhibition incorporating painting and photography. The intent of this
exhibition is to present a visual anthropological journey from Ireland’s past
to present.
Mythos: a pattern of beliefs expressing often symbolically the
characteristic or prevalent attitudes in a group or culture.
Modernity: the modern era or world and especially the ideas and attitudes
associated with the modern world.
The binary of mythos and modernity are allegorical of the duality of past
and present. Paintings represent the past and photographs represent the
present.
The paintings representing mythos depict creatures and entities from
Ireland’s pre-christian Celtic past. The photographs representing
modernity depict scenes from across the island of Ireland and the society
that now inhabits this place.
