Who Art Thou?

Episode 114: Ciara Lee

Season 5, Ep. 53

Today's guest on the podcast is artist Ciara Lee!

Ciara is an artist who is fascinated by club culture and the details of the dancefloor, which is used to inform her fantastic 'Balter' project.

To balter is to dance artlessly without particular skill or grace but usually with great enjoyment, which is showcased in her fantastic paintings from the project, with each piece possessing amazing movement and vibrant colours.

We'll be chatting about what inspires her work, the Irish art scene, our time in NCAD, Dublin's Graffiti scene and a whole bunch more.

Ciara will also be exhibiting next at the Art Riddle Exhibition where she will be showing her piece, Balter NINE. The exhibition will take place at One Charlemount Sq, Charlemount Road, Dublin 2. Opening on Friday October 25th 6-8pm and runs until 3rd November 10-5pm each day.
