Folds and Faults by Fionnuala McGowan's

Hey art enthusiasts, save the date because we're excited to kick off our first late-night art event of the year with Fionnuala McGowan's captivating solo exhibition, "Folds and Faults."

This Belfast-born artist, widely recognised for her outstanding work in printmaking, brings a unique blend of dimensionality and illusion to the forefront at the Belfast Print Workshop.

Keep your eyes peeled for unexpected materials making their mark in McGowan's work. Iron and copper powder find their place in collagraph prints, challenging the conventions of inks and paying homage to traditional etching materials. McGowan's artistic prowess has garnered her the prestigious Glasgow Print Studio Prize and acclaim in the pages of Printmaking Today. With a background in Fine Art: Painting and Printmaking from the Glasgow School of Art and an international exchange programme at L'École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts, McGowan is a force to be reckoned with in the art world.

Her influence extends beyond Belfast, with residencies in Scotland, Belgium, and Athens and exhibitions gracing galleries across Europe. Notable showcases like "The Love of Print" at Kelvingrove Art Gallery, Glasgow, and "Metanoia" at IFAC Arts, Athens, have solidified her place in the art scene.

As the proud home of Fionnuala McGowan's work, the Belfast Print Workshop invites you to an immersive experience. "Folds and Faults" promises a visual journey through innovative printmaking techniques, challenging perceptions, and a unique perspective on the fusion of art and raw materials.

Join us for an evening of exploration, conversation, and artistic revelation. This is your chance to witness the intricate connections between dimensionality and illusion in Fionnuala McGowan's "Folds and Faults." See you there!
