A Long Time Ago

A Long Time Ago brings together five artists whose work recalls the visual world of childrens play. Remembering a world that is saturated with colour in every facet, toys, cartoons, food, packaging, TV, in a uniquely personal way each artist reflects this environment playfully through memory
and experience.

With nostalgia and wonder these artists create an exhibition which will appeal to both children and adults.

Mark McGreevy recalls the graphic world of children’s cartoons and science fiction using high colour and luminescent paint.
Cian Donnelly’s sculptural pieces build up layers of confectionary colour to make solid blocks of sandwiched pigment which have a tempting edible quality.
Primary coloured woollen sculptures feature in the fantastical environments of Brendan Jamison.
Andrew Bracey's painted nail-heads are reminiscent of the dolls-house/dinky car world of miniature toys.
Nevan Lahart’s painted static TV’s draw us directly into a primitive childlike view of the world.

A Long time Ago stems from a project initiated by artists, Cian
Donnelly, Brendan Jamison and Mark McGreevy.
