Flesh is an inherently charged material, as it prompts reactions that are contradictory in nature: disgust, compassion, fear, attraction and so on. David Manno, an artist from New York working in Ireland, explores the beauty and complexity of flesh through a series of abstract/figurative charcoal works on paper.

Ireland 3000, an Irish artist working in Berlin, re-imagines iconic religious paintings from the Baroque period by the likes of Carravagio and Rubens in the form of large scale brightly coloured wood block prints that force us to re-examine our perceptions of theological aesthetics with a sense of humour while at the same time making us think seriously about history, identity and politics.
