Arts Exhibition in Firars Gate Kilmallock

Art Exhibition Feminality by Aishling O’Donnell

Event Date: 3rd October – 31st October 2024 Monday – Friday (Weekend Appointments available upon request)

Location: Friars Gate Kilmallock, Co. Limerick

Aisling O’Donnell is a Limerick based artist who recently graduated from Limerick School of Art and Design with a degree in Fine Art Painting.

Aisling’s work is a celebration of women and the feminist movement. She uses colours, such as pink, and techniques that are stereotypically associated with women to create empowering feminist pieces. Embroidery is a typical “woman’s task” that is incorporated throughout her work, reclaiming the stereotype while creating a female language in her paintings. Aisling explores what it means to be a woman in today’s world through text and imagery associated with feminism and womanhood.
