Welcome to our virtual exhibition featuring the captivating work of Anthony Carey, an artist based in Dublin, Ireland. Carey views art as a sanctuary, offering a gentle reminder that “Yes, we are here. We exist. We have a purpose. We are safe.” 

A shared exploration of healing and understanding, isolation is a prominent theme in Carey’s current work. His figures, crafted with the broken, rough textures of plaster, symbolize the universal fractures we all experience at various points in our lives. They embody the yearning to feel whole and to belong, reminiscent of the time before grief touched our lives.

“Belonging” celebrates the enduring human spirit and the transformative power of embracing both personal and collective experiences. Join us as we explore Anthony Carey’s evocative world, where each painting reminds us of our shared purpose and safety.
