The Backward Glance

An Exhibition of new paintings by Bernard Canavan

Documenting Ireland’s transformation since the eighteenth century

19th March – 28th March 2014 at 12 Star Gallery, Europe House, London SW1P 3EU, Exhibition curated by Barbara Stanley

In this exhibition Bernard Canavan documents the changes of how Ireland has transformed since the eighteenth century based on his own experience having left Ireland to work in London over 25 years ago. The causes for this modern transformation can be particularly marked from Ireland’s entry into Europe when it emerged as an important business and technology centre of the European Union.
