Originally from Dublin but now based in Clonmany, Patrick Jude Clafferty began working as a visual artist in 2016 after many years as a musician. He was a co-founder and songwriter with the Dublin band Mexican Pets. His background in music continues to influence his art, especially in its sense of rhythm, texture and flow.
His practice has developed from figurative painting to a more abstract and expressive style. From the Cradle to the Cave is his fifth solo exhibition and brings together work that reflects his artistic journey and growing confidence in this visual language.
The exhibition is open during normal gallery hours and forms part of the RCC’s ongoing programme supporting contemporary artists.
Admission is free and all are welcome.
