Megan Rooney at Kettle's Yard Great Art Day Trips from London for Summer 2024
22 June 2024
Megan Rooney, ‘Echoes and Hours’ at Kettle’s Yard, Cambridge (until 6 October)
Kettle’s Yard in Cambridge has given over its spaces to Megan Rooney, who is spending three weeks this summer painting a mural directly on to the gallery walls, while adjacent spaces show a group of new works by the artist. Rooney describes her works as ‘family groups’, with the scale of her canvases determined by the reach of her outstretched arms. So while her work remains vibrantly abstract it is always grounded in the body and its environment. To emphasize this dimension, there is a new accompanying performance work in the gallery space.
