Gallery hours_
Thursday to Sunday, 10am – 5pm
"...I always start my paintings with charcoal, it's a medium I love because it's unpredictable and messy. I create figures often from images of myself, my sister, or family members, someone who feels familiar to me."
Systa Larusdottir
GRÓ
Larusdottir reimagines painting as a living organism, breathing through recollection, renewal, and the slow unfolding of time. Her paintings, built through delicate layers of charcoal, oil, and pencil, carry a subtle intensity; gestures that seem to inhale and exhale across the surface. The exhibition unfolds as a poetic inquiry into transformation and the fragile continuity between the human and the natural world.
“… the flora, often named in the titles, act as a quiet marker of time, blooming, fading and returning again. They echo the rhythms of memory and the ongoing cycle of what has been, what is and what may come.“

A Wine Tasting in Gró With Brian O’Connor (Brian’s Wines)
22 Nov, 7-9pm
O’Connor will introduce wines made with restraint and minimal intervention, where what is held back is as important as what is expressed. As he notes, this approach can create wines that “mirror, for our sense of smell and taste, the experience visual art has on our optical system, leading to deeply profound, moving experiences with deep and ancient roots in our physiology.”

KiiKO is a collaboration between Tokyo-born DJ Emmy Shigeta, Irish producer John McDowell, and drummer Dave Rogers, tuned here to an ambient register for slow looking.
