Landscape In Contemporary Irish Art
Dr Yvonne Scott
Friday 11th October at 11am
Fridays at the Gallery
Presented within the context of Embracing Vision: 100 Years of the FNCI and Caoimhín Gaffney’s All at Once Collapsing Together, Dr Yvonne Scott reflects on her recent publication Landscape and the Environment in Contemporary Irish Art, published by Churchill House Press in 2023.
The book identifies a representative selection of compelling and intriguing artworks by a range of around one hundred of the most challenging and vibrant artists from, or working in, Ireland or whose work addresses Irish landscapes and environments. This field of representation has never been more vital and expansive than it is now in the first quarter of the twenty-first century in the face of climate change.
Dr Yvonne Scott is a fellow emeritus at Trinity College Dublin, the University of Dublin. Her research focuses on modern and contemporary art, specialising in the representation of landscape, nature and environment, and she has published extensively in the field. She was Chair of the Advisory Board, and contributor to Art and architecture of Ireland, vol. 5, Twentieth century (2014), and to Modern Ireland in 100 artworks (2016).
