Weekend Painting Course: The Primordial Chaos of Modernism
Advertisement
Join us for an immersive two-day weekend painting course exploring Modernism through drawing, painting and printmaking, taking inspiration from the ideas, imagery and artistic approaches found in the exhibition Hilma af Klint: Artist and Visionary.
Taking place in our Education Studio, the course will be led by guest artist Stephen Dunne. Through demonstrations, talks and practical exercises, Stephen will introduce participants to the theory of Modernism, not simply as an art movement, but as a practical and experimental approach to making art.
Drawing on themes and ideas from the Hilma af Klint exhibition, participants will explore different ways of working across drawing, painting and printmaking, using Modernist approaches as a starting point for experimentation and their own creative practice.
Tickets are available at the link, with discounts for Friends of the Gallery, students, teachers, artists, the unwaged and seniors.
Hilma af Klint: Artist and Visionary continues until 7 February.
Organised in collaboration with The Hilma af Klint Foundation. Presented by Key Capital at 25. Funded as part of the Culture Programme for Ireland’s Presidency of the Council of the European Union 2026.
