Opening in the Print Gallery this spring is Revelation, an exciting collaboration with the Graphic Studio Dublin. The show consists of specially commissioned prints based around the theme of revelation, many of which have been inspired by the Gallery's extensive collection of Irish
and European art. Revelation - 'to make known something hidden' - can refer to religious faith, intellectual discovery and aspects of science and nature. In dealing with the profound concept of revelation, many of the prints embrace the traditional religious concept of revelation, whilst others focus on the philosophical or secular dimensions of the topic. The exhibition features 29 artists representing Graphic Studio printmakers and invited artists including Pamela Leonard, Yoko Akino, Stephen Lawlor, Jean Bardon, William Crozier, Guggi, John Kindness, Donald Teskey and Nigel Rolfe. An accompanying illustrated catalogue, edited by Anne Hodge, curator of the exhibition, will include texts
by the artists and an essay by Mark Patrick Hederman, a Benedictine monk and philosopher, who has written extensively on art and culture.
