I Build My Own Island<br />
Sat. 10 Jul. – Sun. 26 <strong>Sep</strong>. 2021<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Model</strong> is pleased to present<br />
an exhibition of fresh and exciting<br />
new works by Sligo-born painter,<br />
Alison Pilkington. Pilkington’s<br />
practice taps into an inner world<br />
of personal experiences to conjure<br />
up strange and unsettling worlds<br />
where all is not entirely at ease.<br />
Humour and the absurd abound<br />
in strange unsettling landscapes,<br />
where bizarre figures are<br />
recurring motifs. Her work draws<br />
on a variety of eclectic influences<br />
from ‘high’ and ‘low’ culture - from<br />
the classical painting of the 17th<br />
century western traditions to the<br />
writing of Stephen King and the<br />
humourist Ivor Cutler, and the<br />
stories of James Joyce.<br />
