Exquisite Portraits

For the Illustrators Ireland 2020 / 2021 group exhibition, we have teamed up with a cohort of illustrators from France to create a GIANT Exquisite Confinement Corpse.

Exquisite Portraits

or the GIANT Exquisite Confinement Corpse

It’s not as disgusting as it might sound –  In the 1920s a group of Dadaists came up with the “Exquisite Corpse” as a way to collaborate with other artists on a single piece of work.   So our Exquisite Portraits will be created by a bunch of people together.

How can you help? We need you to add some artwork based on nature and wildlife – some of the poetic elements from the outdoors – to this strange family portrait. We are looking for you to create: birds, flowers, plants, insects, leaves, mushrooms, blossoms, snails, squirrels… your own pictures of anything you love that comes from nature around you.

To participate:

Artwork should be about A6 in size (standard postcard sized).

Please use bright colours

You can put your name and age on the back of your piece

Post your artwork to:
