Measure for Measure

Laois Arthouse and Laois Arts are delighted to present Measure for Measure an exhibition of work by Stephanie Deady. This exhibition marks the end of Stephanie's fruitful two-year residency at Laois Arthouse.

Opening by Kevin Kavanagh

(14:00 - 15:30) Saturday 7 December

Exhibition runs 7 - 21 December, 2024.

Aidan Dunne says of Deady's work - 'Historically, in western painting, there is an art of drama and spectacle, and there is an art of quietness. The extrovert and the introvert. Stirring, dramatic events and moments of inner revelation. Stephanie Deady’s work is aligned with the latter, with interior life.'
