Art attack: Guide to what's on at home and around the world 
'Mothlight' by Elizabeth Magill.

ART SHOW

An exhibition of small paintings made during lockdown by Elizabeth Magill in her rural Antrim studio runs at the Kerlin Gallery in Dublin from September 5 to October 10. The artist normally lives and works in London but over the past seven years, she and her partner have managed some farmland on the Antrim coast. During this time they have planted 5,000 indigenous trees "as a kind of small nod in relation to where we are ecologically". The exhibition, entitled "Her Nature", is, the artist explains, a kind of lament to the strange times we are living in and an attempt to suggest a kind of beauty and distance. "But I'm hoping that with the way I have painted them that there is an ease to the gesture which suggests a healing, or a rest," she adds.
