Cecily Brennan: Crossing the pain threshold for exhibition at the Glucksman, UCC
Cecily Brennan at the Glucksman Gallery at UCC.
Over the several decades of her career, Cecily Brennan has returned again and again to the subject of pain – both physical and psychological – that human beings endure. She has used whatever media best suit her ideas; painting, photography, sculpture and video all feature in Pressure, a major survey of her oeuvre that runs until March at the Glucksman Gallery at University College Cork.
“Some of the work is completely current,” says Brennan, “and more is older work that I’ve wanted to show again. The new work includes a big photographic portrait of a fictional character called Sad Man.
