Don’t miss this unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the ancient art of Knowth at Dreamlines Exhibition.
The Office of Public Works (OPW) is delighted to announce an exciting new art exhibition at Brú na Bóinne by artist Erika Tyner, which showcases the megalithic art at Knowth.
Tyner has beautifully interpreted both the familiar and lesser known art on the kerbstones and orthostats of Knowth drawing inspiration from Ireland’s ancient landscape and folklore. Her research into early mark making, in collaboration with archaeology and heritage experts, has resulted in a stunning collection of artwork.
Using acrylics, pen and ink on high quality Fabriano fine art paper, Tyner has captured the essence of these ancient symbols with a carefully selected colour palette that reflects the pigments that may have been used almost 6,000 years ago. Speaking about her work, Tyner stated ‘Here in the mythical landscape of the Túatha Dé Dannan, Dreamlines reaches back in time to reflect on our folklore and early visual art. Our ancestors were all united in one monumental task, to celebrate life and honour the gifts of the sun and the gods. This exhibition honours the work of the neolithic artists who carved our earlies art on stone’.
Dreamlines exhibition will be inaugurated by Helena King of the Royal Irish Academy on 6 April 2025 and runs from 7 April to 30 June 2025.
