The Roe Valley Arts & Cultural Centre is delighted to present the Hayward Gallery Touring exhibition\u00a0Joan Mir\u00f3: Painting and Poetry.<\/em><\/h4>\n

Running from Saturday 7th June to 19th July 2025, this prestigious exhibition brings together 26 lithographic prints created by the artist to illustrate the writings of the celebrated French surrealist poet Robert Desnos.<\/p>\n

\"\"One of the 20th century\u2019s most influential and recognisable artists,\u00a0Joan Mir\u00f3\u2019s highly individual style placed him at the forefront of Surrealism and Dadaism.<\/p>\n

Primarily known as a painter and sculptor, Mir\u00f3 was also a celebrated and dynamic printmaker. Within this practice the artist produced a remarkable and extensive output of book illustrations, often created for artists, writers and poets associated with the Surrealist movement.<\/p>\n

The exhibition will shine light on Mir\u00f3\u2019s prints and how they are not only an excellent example of the richness and variety of his print production, but also his famous experimentation with vivid colours and abstract shapes.<\/p>\n

Council\u2019s Arts Service is delighted to present another touring exhibition of world-renowned artists in partnership with the Hayward Gallery, Southbank Centre, London.<\/p>\n

From displaying prints by Henri Matisse in 2013, with following exhibitions over the years by artists Louise Bourgeois, Michael Craig-Martin and Karl Blossfeldt at Roe Valley Arts & Cultural Centre, and prints by Georgia O\u2019Keeffe hosted by Flowerfield Arts Centre, the service continues to provide access to internationally acclaimed visual arts for local communities.<\/p>\n

Mayor of Causeway Coast and Glens, Councillor Ciar\u00e1n McQuillan commented<\/strong>: \u201cI am delighted that Roe Valley Arts have been chosen as a host venue for this wonderful new touring exhibition.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot only does the Arts Service support and showcase local and regional artists but it is also so important that our local schools, creatives and general public have the opportunity to see the work of world-renowned artists from some of the most acclaimed art venues and museums in their local arts venues.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re delighted to continue our beneficial partnership work with the Hayward Gallery and the Southbank Centre and I would encourage everyone to visit this stunning exhibition of works by Joan Mir\u00f3.\u201d<\/p>\n

There are two public workshops accompanying the exhibition \u2013 Abstract Glass Panels for adults on Saturday 14 June and Mir\u00f3 Mobiles for children on Saturday 7 June.<\/p>\n
