'Faigh Amach' is a new exhibition and initiative by Temple Bar Gallery + Studios, in partnership with Culture Ireland and Southwark Park Galleries (SPG), London, to support an artist in presenting their first solo exhibition outside Ireland.
Faigh Amach brings together three artists for a group exhibition selected through an open call process in 2024: Ella Bertilsson, Kathy Tynan, Emily Waszak. Following the exhibition, one of the three artists will be invited to present their first international solo show at Southwark Park Galleries, London in 2026.
Bertilsson uses images and materials related to pop culture and the aesthetics of nostalgia to evoke a shared sense of memory and place. Tynan’s paintings of familiar cityscapes and domestic scenes illuminate moments of affection, intimacy and curiosity. Emily Waszak’s textile and assemblage works are informed by rituals of her Japanese cultural heritage, experiences of grief and the landscape of her home in Donegal.
