Bernie Leahy: Why Are We (Fall 2018)
Mid-Career Solo Exhibition, Drawing and Sculpture with Stitch
Monday, September 10, 2018 at 5:30PM

Irish Arts Center
553 West 51st Street
New York, NY 10019


Through her art practice, internationally celebrated Dublin artist Bernie Leahy picks apart visceral human connections, finding and laying bare the vulnerability in each chosen subject matter. In this exhibition, Leahy has created an evocative series of stitched drawings and small sculptures, embodied with a variety of media including gold leaf, uncut diamonds and acrylic on linen and canvas. Fragments of the human form—eyes, mouths, glances—capture Leahy’s personal moments and stories and imbues them with a sense of passion and energy.
