Wednesday 2nd September – Monday 30th November SEANSCÉALTA, GUTHANNA BEO What Still Lives Here BY JUSTINE GUITTONNY-CAPPELLI

Justine Guittonny-Cappelli is a French artist based in Ireland. Her work draws on Irish mythology, which she approaches as an active space, still capable of engaging with contemporary questions.

Her paintings give form to mythological figures through bodies that move away from familiar categories. Points of reference are deliberately blurred, shifted, sometimes difficult to define. These choices are not explained, but they open a space in which viewers can recognise something of themselves or project their own experiences.

Through this work, mythology becomes a place where contemporary concerns can take shape, without being fixed into a defined message. It accompanies the present, quietly, through the image.

Her background in history and anthropology informs this approach in the background, guiding her visual choices without taking over the work itself.

Join us for the opening evening on Wednesday 2nd September at 7pm with an Introductory Talk by Dr. Lauren Cassidy, Teaching Fellow in English Literature at MIC, Occasional Lecturer at DCU and Editorial Assistant at the University Reviews.

Complimentary Wine and Cheese served at 6.30pm
