Going to the other side at Lismore

Polish artist Wilhelm Sasnal’s ‘Take Me To The Other Side’ is the latest exhibition at Lismore Castle Arts, the gallery in the west wing of William Burlington’s Co Waterford home.

Sasnal is one of the few Polish artists who has an international reputation, and Take Me To The Other Side is named after a track by the band, Spacemen 3. The exhibition features paintings and films, and is inspired by the writings of Hans Christian Andersen

This is Sasnal’s first exhibition in Ireland since a solo show at the Douglas Hyde Gallery in Dublin in 2006. “I know William [Burlington] has been a fan of my work for some time,” he says. “I first visited Lismore in November, 2012, and I found the place very, very special. The gallery is really unique.”
