Curated by renowned artist and curator, Mark Joyce, and presented in collaboration with ISA Art and Design, Jakarta Land, and the Embassy of Ireland in Indonesia, Ireland’s Eye 2026 marks the fifth edition of the exhibition, bringing together six Irish artists whose practices engage deeply with the Irish landscape and its layered histories. Spanning generations from Tony O’Malley to Charlie Dineen, the exhibition reflects on how land, memory, and cultural identity remain intertwined. Rooted in a shared sensitivity to the “spirit of place,” the works trace how Ireland’s terrain continues to shape artistic expression today.
Tony O’Malley’s lyrical abstractions evoke the essence of place through gesture and texture, drawing from sites such as Jerpoint Abbey. This sensibility resonates across the exhibition in diverse forms. Cora Cummins explores grief and change through large-scale etchings grounded in pastoral landscapes. Charlie Dineen’s film reactivates mythic histories within the Paps of Anú, interweaving ritual, memory, and terrain. Cliona Doyle’s botanical prints observe the quiet resilience of native flora, while Gwen O’Dowd translates elemental forces of sea and land into expressive abstraction. Robert Russell captures the atmospheric depth of Ireland’s urban landscapes through precise and contemplative printmaking.
All works are produced at Graphic Studio Dublin, which celebrates its 65th anniversary this year as Ireland’s leading fine art printmaking studio. The act of printmaking becomes a metaphor for imprint, echoing how history, environment, and lived experience are pressed into the land itself. Together, the exhibition invites viewers to consider Ireland’s physical and psychological landscape as a space where past and present continuously converge.
