Across the Bitter Sea is a collection of new works in bronze by renowned sculptor John Behan, opening at The Kenny Gallery in Liosbán this Saturday, September 30.
The exhibition includes striking new versions of Behan’s iconic famine ship and features explorations of Ukrainian migrant themes.
While it is primarily a continuation of his important ‘migrants’ work, classic Behans will also be exhibited in the form of flights of birds and bulls.
The artist has recently featured in a major film documentary biography by Donald Taylor Black, which was shown at this year’s Galway Film Fleadh. 2023 also sees the celebration of Behan’s exhibiting at Kennys for 50 years.
Poet John. F Deane will launch Across the Bitter Sea at 2.30pm on Saturday, September 30 at The Kenny Gallery, and all are welcome along.
The exhibition runs until October 24 from Monday to Saturday, 9am to 5pm, and online at www.thekennygallery.ie. All of the pieces are for sale and any enquiries can be sent to Dean at art@kennys.ie.
