Group show 'Pink is my colour' to launch at Olivier Cornet Gallery on 9 June 2024

"The qualities we associate with the pastel color pink are quite diverse. They range from sensitive, tender, youthful, artificial or unreal to eccentric, vulnerable, and pleasurable. The color is at home in both "high" and "low" culture... What is unique about pink is that it is assertive in whatever context it appears."

Barbara Nemitz, 'Pink: The Exposed Color in Contemporary Art and Culture', Hatje Cantz Ed. (2008).

There have been so many essays and books written about the colour and its chequered history.  Independently of the clichés and countless value judgements around it, contemporary artists make full use of it in all its shades, and more than people think at times.

Come to the gallery on Sunday 9 June 2024 for the launch of  'Pink is my colour'.

We can't guarantee the presence of Schiaparelli's 'Shocking Pink' but we can promise an eclectic art exhibition featuring work by:

Hugh Cummins, David Fox, Kelly Ratchford, Mary A. Fitzgerald, Eoin Mac Lochlainn, Miriam McConnon, Yanny Petters, Sheila Naughton, Nickie Hayden, Vicky Smith and invited artists Bernadette Doolan, Joe Dunne RHA, Hannah Ní Mhaonaigh and Noël O´Callaghan.

The exhibition is part of the programme of the 2024 Bloomsday Festival initiated by the James Joyce Centre Dublin.
