Beautiful Man

Venue: Talbot Gallery

Date: Dec 09th - Jan 20th 2011

Inspired by the poetry of Kathy Enders, Beautiful Man is realised through the art of printmaking by both Irish and International artists.

Kathy Enders is a young Irish poet in her mid twenties and has been based in Dublin most of her life. Her mother is Irish, an artist and her father was German, born in the Late 1940’s and died when the poet was a young child. Both parents have played an important part in shaping her life and the poetry that she writes.

When a group of artists read Kathy’s poetry they were moved by her words and the imagery it conjured. Seven of these artists have interpreted Kathy’s work by taking an emotion or a line from the poetry that draws a reflection on their own lives, they have brought the poetry to life in their own unique style.
