This exhibition focuses on paintings from the IMMA Collection from the figurative to the abstract. It explores the physical nature of the painting process and the importance placed by some artists on the building of layers to create definition and texture within their work. What lies beneath the surface presents work by artists such as Robert Ballagh, Mark Francis, Louis le Brocquy and Patrick Scott.
