La Bestia Reinventada, Boats & Art Exhibition

13 May, 2015 @ 11:00 am - 6 September, 2015 @ 7:00 pm

Mark Redden 2

Mark Redden 1Mark Redden was born in Dublin in 1979. After studying sculpture in his home city he moved to Galway in the west of Ireland where he worked as an apprentice to a master wooden boat-builder. Later he learnt to make currachs, a skin on frame boat indigenous to the west coast of Ireland. After this experience he returned to university and obtained a degree in Painting.

La Bestia Reinventada, (The Reinvented Beast) is a culmination of boat building and art made especially for MMB – a blend of wood, paint and imagination that describes a visual ode to the sea.

Redden’s work is in direct relationship with the sea. His sculptural work is made from wood and material that is left over from the boat building process, or takes the curved lines and techniques of boat-building into consideration.
His concepts and titles take many references from maritime literature, science and adventure. You may find clues to Melville’s ‘Moby Dick’, Narcis Monturiol’s ‘Icteneo’ or Robert Falcon Scott’s journey to the Antarctic.

Mark Redden 3Mark Redden makes paintings that are often themed on the vastness of the sea and our relationship to it as beings who prosper or perish according to the ocean’s decree. In his work we are called to experience the emotions the ocean inspires – danger, beauty, and serenity in constant motion.
