An exhibition of photography, drawing and painting based on the imagery of light and shade will close today, Thursday, July 2, following a two week run at the Greenroom Gallery, Cork Arts Theatre. The exhibition, 6 Perspectives on Light, is a group show by six Irish artists, Roseanne Lynch, Padraig Spillane, Miriam King, Ciara O'Flynn, Lucy Clarke and Eimear Tunney.

Traditionally light has been conceived of as an agent that penetrates, illuminates and purges. These six artists use subtle interpretations, geometric representations and organic imagery to convey large and obscure areas of light and shade. They seek to examine the edges upon which light runs, the surfaces upon which it falls, and the materials it pierces.

This group of artists came together through common interests in photography, music and the courses of study they are pursuing or have pursued. Three of the artists work for, or have worked for the print media. Roseanne Lynch worked for four years as Staff Photographer with the Independent Newspapers Group, Ireland. Lucy Clarke is currently Staff Photographer with The Journal of Music and she has also been published by The Guardian Newspaper. Padraig Spillane worked as a photographer during an internship with The Dubliner magazine. Ciara O'Flynn is also well known as a musician and she and Eimear Tunney are currently studying Fine Art at CCAD. The other member of the group, Miriam King, formerly studied Architecture at UCD and was most recently the recipient of the Highly Commended Award in Photography from the Crawford Continuing Visual Education exhibition.
