Brian Cronin Exhibition at the Irish Museum of Modern Art
The first solo exhibition in Ireland of the work of the leading New York-based, Irish artist and illustrator Brian Cronin opens to the public at the Irish Museum of Modern Art on Wednesday 1 April. Brian Cronin: Fat Face with Fork comprises some 300 works and ranges from commercial drawings, commissioned by such prestigious publications as The New Yorker, The Wall Street Journal and Time, to personal pieces exploring subconscious manifestations of the human condition. Cronin sees this interrelation between his commercial and personal work and the progression of ideas from one body of drawings to the other as key features of his work. “A specific commissioned illustration involves a chain of ideas, which in turn can be taken to a new level of form and meaning in my personal work.” |
