Vita Activa

Vita Activa registers the everyday, worldly-orientated routine life of women - well organised and precise in detail. These common place routines, rituals and rites of passage can be interpreted as both comforting and constraining and are a way of navigating the complexities of life. The artist, Abigail O'Brien lives and works in Dublin. She has had solo art exhibitions in the Galerie Bugdahn (Germany), the Rubicon Gallery (Dublin) and the Old Museum (Belfast). She has so participated in many group art shows. O'Brien has won many awards for her work and it is in both private and public collections, including The Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin, The Caldic Collection, Rotterdam and The Volpinum Collection, Vienna.
