17 Ways To A Better You - [Exhibition]
Opening at 3pm on Saturday 26th November at the Droichead Arts Centre, 17 WAYS TO A BETTER YOU, the new exhibition from Adrian+Shane can be seen until 4th March 2023.
"17 Ways To A Better You" explores the impact of self-help books, click bait quick fix articles, being bombarded with advertisements and unattainable images particularly on social media promising a better life if we obey their message. The work is largely compiled of imagery from adverts from the 1950's to the present day, in a freshly fucked-up, pop art and contemporary style.
For years we have had a fascination with self-help books, gurus, enlightenment and more recently podcasts and what they promise. An obsession with trying to find happiness, build a better life and be the best us we can be. So “17 Ways" is a look into a world of promises and relief from life and yourself.
We explore this through the imagery of advertisement and social media because there is a connection with people's perceived and aspirational happiness in the 1950s before the onset of mass advertisement.
What we are being sold as something that will make you happier is actually making people more unsatisfied with their lives. We now have an abundance of self-help and quick fix lists to help you out of it.
"17 Ways To A Better You" is the first Adrian+Shane exhibition in Ireland in over a decade.

Incognito 2018
We are delighted to announce that we're part of the ‘Incognito’ exhibition, Jack & Jill’s 2018 Public Art Project.
Over 1000 Irish and International artists have joined this initiative to paint, draw, photograph, etch, sew or create something on a postcard (150mm x 100mm), which will form the largest group exhibition held in Ireland this year. It will include work by Tracey Emin, John Kelly, Peter Curling, Martin Gale, Olivia Golden, P.J. Crook, Ed Miliano, Abigail O’Brien, and Richard Gorman – but all pieces are exhibited anonymously, and sold for €50 each to the first buyer present in person at the Solomon Gallery after 10am on Friday 6th April.
In 2017, this event raised €81,000 for the Jack & Jill Children’s Foundation – but this year we undertake to solve the dilemma of the queue going all the way round the block on the sale days, by having two viewing days before the artworks go on sale.

When I Walk In Your Shoes
Contemporary Irish artists Adrian+Shane announce their first London showcase at 'When I Walk In Your Shoes' exhibition with pieces inspired by the late singer Amy Winehouse. Opening at London Westbank Gallery from 25th to 30th September, proceeds from inspired artworks sold will go directly to the Amy Winehouse Foundation.
Adrian+Shane will proudly be contributing exclusive pieces towards an artistic celebration of Amy Winehouse, along with 20 other artists including Dita Von Teese, Pure Evil and Scroobius Pip, who have been hand-picked and curated by Henry Hate, Amy's tattooist and friend. The show 'When I Walk In Your Shoes' is named after the first verse of Amy Winehouse’s song ‘Help Yourself’ and the catalogue will feature quotes of walking in someone else’s shoes from the exhibiting artists.
Pieces by Adrian+Shane will include 'HEART' constructed from Converse trainers, as well as 3 original and unique paintings inspired by Amy Winehouse entitled 'PIN UP', made using acrylic, spray paint and screen print on paper.
Adrian+Shane commented, “Amy Winehouse is more than a musician; everything from her sound, fashion choices and lifestyle made an impact on an entire generation. Her iconic status makes her the perfect muse for this exhibition and is a wonderful way to raise money for charity in her honour. We’re immensely excited to be a part of this show and can’t imagine a more inspiring way to mark our debut on the London art scene.”
Following a private viewing on 25th September supported by Converse, 'When I Walk In Your Shoes' opens to the general public on Friday 26th September, offering fans the chance to join cutting edge artists in paying tribute to a colourful and unique musical talent in the heart of London. All proceeds raised from the sale of Amy inspired artworks and Converse pieces will go to the Amy Winehouse Foundation.
