| Sara Cunningham-Bell is an award-winning artist with work in the collections of Mater Hospital, Hastings Group, Pope Benedict XVI and many others. "Wall Street" is a play on the financial chaos we are experiencing world wide. It looks at the effect on children and the next generation. The "Brothers" is based on the competitive and supportive relationship between brothers within the family - both positive and negative. "Downhill to Finish" is based on the physical area of Downhill Beach County Antrim with the idea of how life is referred to as a race, and the challenge to run it with as much conviction on the last day, as on the first. "Towards More" is a play on the change of political power internationally, the upheaval of the old replaced with a contrasting new politics and the industrial wealth moving power from the West to East. Michael Egan is a recent graduate who won the Graduate Prize at Ulster Society of Artists 2009 and was an Invited artist at the RUA. |
