"Nostalgia's Not What it Was" by Pigsy

Ciaran's exhibition "Nostalgia's Not What it Was" ran from the 5th - 8th of Oct in Fumbally Exchange.  It was a big success with over 400 people visiting over the weekend.

The first piece was "No space for nostalgia" and it was based on this picture of Ciaran as a child with his two best childhood friends.

The photo seemed to spark something in many who visited and lots of his pieces evoked memories of childhood that were familiar to all.

It was great to have both the guys in the picture drop in for a look!

I'm feeling nostalgia just looking at them!!

All Art is Theft at The Kemp Gallery

"All Art is Theft" opened in The Kemp Gallery last night. 

It is a group exhibition for Christmas. Artist's in the show included Pigsy, Kemp, Emma Sheridan & ADW and all of the art works are pieces that were inspired by famous artworks.

Kemp & Pigsy collaborated on this piece which is based on Caravaggio's "Salome with the head of John the Baptist"

Here's a Pigsy!  
It's called "Angel" and is based on Jean-Michel Basquiat's "Fallen Angel". 
One of Pigsy's pieces sold on the opening night (how great!) but if you want to own a Pigsy you can visit www.ciaranmccoy.com where both original artworks and prints are on sale.

It sure was a successful opening, particularly for Ciaran (Pigsy), which was sponsored by Manor Brewing Company who presented their "Mont" Irish Mountain Beer which everyone agreed was a tasty brew. 
If you are on twitter you might give them a follow!
