Fun weekend of incognito art

Incognito 2018 was on this weekend in the Solomon Art Gallery. It's an amazing public art initiative in aid of Jack and Jill Foundation. Over 2000 postcard sized pieces of art are for sale for €50 and after buying a piece you then get to see who created it. What fun!

Even more fun if you discovered a famous artist like Tracy Emin painted the postcard you bought.


 

Ciaran chose the piece below and  after handing over the €50 he turned to the back of the card to see that was painted by Liam Plant.



I visited on Saturday with Ciaran when he bought this piece and then returned on Sunday with Amy for another browse. 



It was a really popular exhibition with people lining up really early to get in and choose their favourite pieces. Here's an RTE news report that captures the excitement of the event.
