The art of Patrick Scott remembered in Dublin and Carlow

The veteran West Cork-born artist Patrick Scott is the subject of a major retrospective in Dublin and Carlow, Tina Darb O’Sullivan reports

In his tenth decade, artist Patrick Scott is honoured in Image Space Light, a major retrospective opening this week at the Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin and VISUAL, Carlow. VISUAL’S Link Gallery also plays host to a selection of Scott’s work by artist Corban Walker, along with a new site-specific artwork Walker has made in response to Scott’s practice.

Orchestrated by curator Christina Kennedy, who is head of collections at IMMA, the twin exhibitions that constitute Image Space Light illuminate the full extent of Scott’s career.
