A week spent in the Cill Rialaig artist's retreat some years ago convinced Pat Mc Grath, axis’ artist in residence, that he was an urban artist. All that nature and the lack of sirens breaking the silence every ten minutes sent him home early to the redbrick, glass and concrete of Dublin. In this solo exhibition Pat examines his experience of city life using combinations of different materials to recreate the texture, contrast and humour of the urban landscape.
