Art: CIT Crawford College of Art and Design - Graduate Show

This year’s degree show at the Crawford College of Art and Design is an exhibition not to be missed. Until June 15, students graduating in fine and applied art are showing their work in the college’s high-ceilinged studio spaces.

Highlights include Tomas Penc, whose mechanical instruments create hypnotic music; John Paul Verling’s vigorous paintings, a powerful installation by Jackie Nevin that reflects upon ‘the third phase of a woman’s life’; and Evgeniya Martirosyan, who uses water to create brilliant visual effects.

An interest in the overlap between physics and art is evident also in Isaac Stillwell’s Fractal Frequency, where loudspeakers generate complex patterns of visual imagery. Other memorable works include Linda Young’s video of slowly moving water, the paintings of Catherine Bacon, and Watermarks by Kim Roberts, an installation composed of found objects from Cork Harbour.
