CocoNut Community Installation
Aistear Building - 11 to 5pm
Join CocoNut (Mel & Gilli) on Saturday 4th and 5th of June at Aistear building from 11 to 5 pm with their fabrication of the community installation, from all donations received in previous months.
An installation aimed at highlighting the local community, as rich and diverse as the landscape in which it nestles, is top of our plans.
The Artists
Mel White
My name is Mel White, I am a self taught Pop Art Influenced Artist. I have been developing my craft as a professional artist since 2014, showing artistic work in both individual and collective shows around Europe. I take most of my inspiration from my photographs taken on my travels. I use real life photographic situations as inspiration and exaggerate them in an animated form with vivid colours, trying to highlight the controversiality from that region/place.
Gilli Browne
My name is Gilli Browne, I am a self taught artist who picked up a brush in 2016 and a passion awoke. I like to provide the audience with a sense of experience by invoking the natural landscape, or the atmosphere created when people come together. Executed in acrylics, I create movement and texture using palette knives in both landscapes and portraits. Most of all, I like to enjoy the process and have fun.
