BETWEEN THE SHORES

An exhibition by Anthony Carey and Sean Carver.

Artists Anthony Carey and Sean Carver have come together for a joint exhibition which navigates the emotional landscapes of memory, identity and reflective and emotive experience. Together, the exhibition offers a powerful exploration of the human condition – through two distinct but complementary visions.


Over the last number of years, Dublin based artist Anthony Carey has been exploring themes of belonging, loss and human connection, drawing from personal and collective experience. He creates richly textured surfaces that reflect the complexity of the human condition, his paintings invite viewers to reflect on their emotional journeys.


Also based in Dublin, Sean Carver’s work focuses on the mind/psyche, traumatic, emotional experiences and or/or isolation. He works with a variety of techniques and media and the works evolve over time, becoming an exploration of contemplative observation.
