Exploring Portraiture’ exhibition: opens 24 May 2024~ Cara Gordon’s evocative works range from portraiture to landscapes. She is a renowned and award-winning artist including winning the RUA Gold Medal at the 2021 exhibition at the Ulster Museum.
For her Residency, Cara has created a group of drawn portraits and sketches of local people within the museum and the surrounding town. These may be quick spontaneous sketches or longer studies made onto collages of discarded papers that add another dimension and texture to each portrait. She has captured a diverse range of sitters to illustrate the town and its communities today and hopes to engage new audiences with her work.
