National Self-Portrait Collection of Ireland 2012

On friday Patrick Horan and me, went to look at the "National Self-Portrait Collection of Irealand 2012". This exibition has been taking place in the University of Limerick since 1983 and has been founded by the National institude for Higher Education. The purpose of this event is to form a collection of self-portraits made by irish artists. There we also saw one of Michael Canning's works which is one of the first year tutors in LSAD. But, there weren't only self-portaits displayed but also varietes of landscape and still life paintings. I found it especially interesting to see the differen't styles the artists had in their paintings and the differen't materials artists used to create their finished art piece. Overall I thought it was an experience which was worth seeing.
