FROM THE HEART
Market Gallery put out an open call to artists with the following words: From the Heart. Like our previous open calls, the responses were incredibly diverse as the theme took on a unique resonance for each artist. The submissions were as sincere as they were personal, and the selection here shows a true outpouring of emotion, longing, and wholehearted artistic love.
From the Heart touches on themes such as beauty, affection, love, hurt, and heartache. Our aim was to assemble something honest and meaningful, and we hope you can find something within our exhibition that speaks to the truth and knowledge in your own heart.
Exhibiting artists include: Claire O’Shea, Edel Ryder-Hanrahan, Eileen Jefferies, Emma O’Connor-Bray, Gill Good, Giulia Coli, Indhu, Jenna Pan Dolls, Jessica Rodrigues, Joseph Heffernan, Patricia Tomlinson, Sachiko Kobayashi, Sarah Murphy, Serge Le Belge, and Susan Conneff.
