Margey to Stage Spring Exhibition at Arcadia Portrush This Bank Holiday Weekend

business local news Apr 27, 2024

Artist Adrian Margey will be staging his Spring Solo Exhibition & Sale of Work at The Arcadia Portrush over the May Bank Holiday Weekend (Saturday 4th – Monday 6th May). The iconic former ballroom, surrounded almost entirely by the Atlantic Ocean will make for a spectacular backdrop to this stunning new exhibition of work.

Margey shot to notoriety as a result of his bold and colourful contemporary depictions of Irish landscape and landmarks. Although he has exhibited widely on home soil, he held his first US exhibition in Washington DC back in 2022 and was invited to ‘live paint’ at Tourism Ireland’s ‘Experience Ireland Showcase’ in Milan earlier this year. He is now also winning a great deal of praise for his more subtle, impressionistic works that embrace a naturalistic palette. Visitors should, therefore, expect an eclectic exhibition filled with vibrant landscapes, dramatic cityscapes and dreamy beach scenes.

From large-scale canvases to smaller pieces, collectors and art lovers will enjoy depictions of the North Coast, Donegal, the Mournes and Belfast City alongside representations of traditional Irish musicians and dancers. With original pieces and limited edition prints in a wide variety of sizes going on show, there will be artwork to suit a range of budgets. The artist will be present throughout the show to discuss the work on sale and ideas for new commissioned pieces.

“I am incredibly excited to be showcasing my work at the Arcadia – possibly the most iconic building in Portrush! The views of East Strand, Whiterocks and the Fisheries from the upstairs gallery space are really special and will complement the work on show”, enthused Margey
