Printmakers at Pieces

At Pieces we are massive fans of local creatives.

We’re delighted to bring Printmakers at Pieces to our Georges’s Street Store through December – as well as online. With all the current craziness we want to put a spotlight on a selection of local talent within our local community.

If you can, (and when we’re allowed to open!) pop into our George’s street to see the Prints in person, alternatively, we can dispatch to your home through our online store which will be launching very soon.

Alice Fitzgerald

Alice is a Dublin-based visual artist and designer.
She is inspired by the organic forms of nature and the geometric shapes of her city life. Through an abstract and minimal approach, she demonstrates the playful interactions between line, colour and form.
Her idiosyncratic, elemental forms strike their own kind of balance, with every element forming part of the whole. Influenced by modernist and mid-century artists like Ellsworth Kelly, Jean Arp and Matisse, Alice takes to heart August Endell’s belief that even if abstract forms signify nothing, represent nothing, remind us of nothing, they still have the power arouse our souls as deeply and strongly as any other art form.

No matter how simple those forms are, there is always something new to grasp. Alice’s work is held in both public and private collections.

Robyn Carey

Robyn is a printmaker, painter, and curator from Dublin. She creates primarily abstract expressionist silk screen prints and acrylic paintings. Her work at its core is an exploration of relationships, both physical, mental and theoretical. She explores this through expressive, gestural mark-making coupled with abstracted structures. Robyn’s work often reflects her interpretations of a scientific, philosophical, or historical theory. Aesthetically she is drawn to both ancient Irish neolithic imagery and textures, contrasted by clean lines of modernism. Her work aims to grab the viewer’s attention with its strong imagery and compositions. It then asks them to delve a little deeper upon a closer look, to unearth a narrative being depicted through abstraction and symbolism. She’s a regular exhibitor in the Dublin art scene. Her practice is currently based in Pallas Projects Studios, Dublin 8.
