"Leprechaun Lolita” Exhibition at Artmart Studios

 Leitrim based, award winning artist Harriet Myfanwy Nia Tahany is opening her first solo exhibition with us at ArtMart since completing her Masters in Fine Art at the University of Ulster in Belfast .

Her exhibition titled “ Leprechaun Lolita” takes inspiration from Lolita, the Japanese cultural street movement. She puts these themes into an Irish context by including stories and characters from Irish fairy tales. Harriet attempts to make Irish folklore accessible for today’s modern society by updating them through mixed media. Harriet has studied trends in global art and has adapted these for Irish representation.

The exhibition is in various media, including watercolour, oil paint, sculpture and ceramics. Harriet also introduces new techniques to her portfolio in fabric and doll making crafts.

Opening night is Saturday July 10th at 7pm with refreshments.
