Art life in Malaga

 Art Life Malaga

We had a busy time last week here in Malaga with all of the PIGSY goings on. The first "happening" was the opening of his Online Exhibition "Seven Spanish Angels" which was presented by DesignYard Gallery in Dublin. It's a strange world we are living in where we are accessing so many events online. It certainly was a unique experience to be involved with an online exhibition of art but it still had the same excitement as a regular exhibition when word came in on Friday evening that a painting had sold, followed by three more on Saturday! Read more about the exhibition here.

Art Exhibition in La Casa Amarilla, Malaga

And then on Friday there was more art fun with the opening of  "Piña y más allá" at La Casa Amarilla Gallery in Malaga City Centre. PIGSY was part of this Group Exhibition along with an amazing line up of other talented artists from both Spain and beyond.

Muy Fragil

The artwork PIGSY submitted for the show was titled "The Situation is Muy Fragil" which I think is fairly apt given the times we are in!

Normality 

With both a physical and virtual element to this exhibition it is showcasing some excellent work by artists involved in the art scene in Malaga and I felt truly happy to be able to visit and see art in the flesh. It felt normal......as I said above it is a strange world we are living in and I grasp every piece of normality that I can with all of my might.

Here's PIGSY's online exhibition video which I hope brings you some pleasure - particularly if you are in an area where art is not being shown due to Covid restrictions or if you are staying safe at home.

All the best to you, stay safe and well......

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!

If you are looking for a Christmas Present for someone special, call in to The Kemp Gallery to view this exhibition and also browse all of the gorgeous jewellery in The Design Yard.
