SEPTEMBER 24 - JANUARY 16
I've always wanted to fulfil the dream of Amadeo Modigliani to make a temple of caryatids. The exhibition at VISUAL provides just such an opportunity.
VISUAL is delighted to present this major exhibition comprising both new and selected retrospective work by the renowned Irish sculptor Michael Warren. Entitled Unbroken Line, this project brings together Warren's lifes ideas and concepts, and provides a unique opportunity to view a compelling body of work in an award winning architectural enviroment.
The Main Gallery features the work Caryatids a group of timber columnar sculptures which invite the viewer to experience their volume by moving between them and being in their presence. Caryatids as an architectural feature appear as weight bearing decorative columns, Warren's Caryatids as descibed by art writer Rod Mengham, carry a weight that can only be weighed and measured by the imagination.
