According to Director of Limerick City Gallery of Art, Mike Fitzpatrick, the exhibition is purposely diverse, not narrowly thematic, or based on one concept of what art might be.

“Noughties But Nice' includes large components of technologically advanced digital and interactive media which place the audience as a central focus of the art experience.

Given the diverse nature of the selection it also includes the traditional forms of drawing, painting and sculpture,” announced Mr Fitzpatrick.

“The exhibition pulses with ideas but primarily it is intuitive, experimental, playful and process led.

It embraces and responds to life with 13 separate conceptual and visual interpretations that collectively explore the current zeitgeist,'' he said.

Surveying current practice from the brush stroke to digital media, 'Noughties But Nice' seeks to demonstrate the strength and energy of contemporary Irish art.

“Noughties But Nice' is also a chance to celebrate the work of artists and from a curatorial perspective to try out fresh and innovative combinations, in the sense of examining if these very different works and ideas function together,” Mr Fitzpatrick concluded.

The exhibition runs at Limerick City Gallery of Art until November 8.
