7th – 30th April 2022
The Lavit Gallery is delighted to present a solo exhibition of Roseanne Lynch’s work.
Semblance is a selection of recent works exploring Lynch’s photographic attitude and the relationship between the documentary and non-representational elements of her work.
This exhibition presents images of experimental modernist architectural space made at the Bauhaus Foundation in Dessau, Germany, Eileen Gray’s E 1027, Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, France, and Charlotte Perriand’s kitchen for Unité d’Habitation amongst others. These works document 20th century modernist approaches in shaping lived experience and result from a pre-visualised approach to image making.
This exhibition also includes Lynch’s photo abstractions which are plays with light, materials and analogue photographic processes where parameters are set up to allow fluidity of process.
Semblance has been shaped through dialogue between Lynch and artist/educator Pádraig Spillane.
