Aislinn Cassidy's first solo painting exhibition 'Reflections on the Foyle' opens tonight

An exhibition by a talented Derry artist, entitled Reflections on the Foyle, opens tonight at the Alley Theatre in Strabane.

The exhibition is a collection of paintings completed for the first part of Aislinn Cassidy’s HND Fine Art.

Born and raised in Derry, the pieces are an expression of her love for her home town, in particular the River Foyle and the illusory effects of light on it at night.

They range from representational style to abstract and collage.

Aislinn’s main chosen medium for this body of work was oil on paper and canvas, however a few of the pieces are mixed media.

She said “expressionistic” techniques used in the majority of the paintings were her response to her interest and study of the works of Hans Hoffman, Gerhard Richter and Morris Louis.

The exhibition runs until 2 December.
