Con Structure
This month’s exhibition in the gallery is Con Structure by German-born, Irish based, artist Arne Witt. Con Structure is an exploration by the artist of everyday life. The artistic media he employs forms part of the exploration. Through a variety of visual arts media (objects, paintings, drawings and video projections ), the artist tries to break barriers between the different disciplines in art. As an extension of this he also combines techniques and materials, using non-traditional art materials. The exhibition runs until July 31.
