Gallery artist Arno Kramer recently curated a group exhibition entitled Beyond Drawingat the Ballina Arts Centre in Mayo. The show includes the work of three Dutch artists- Marleen Kappe, Romy Muijrers, Marisa Rappard and three Irish artists- Kiera O’Toole, Mary-Ruth Walsh, Felicity Clear. The exhibition is a celebration of contemporary drawing and investigates the ways in which artists use drawing as a medium to examine themes surrounding memory, identity and consciousness. Unfortunately, the show has had to close in recent weeks due to COVID-19 concerns, but will hopefully reopen to the public soon before embarking on its scheduled tour around the country this July.
