Outside The Box Art Auction

Added on by Adrian and Shane.

The ‘Outside The Box’ art auction in aid of the Scoop Foundation takes place at the RHA Gallery in Dublin on Tuesday March 28th.

Outside The Box is SCOOP’s latest art-driven fundraiser which will feature a live art auction in person and online featuring artworks from 120 of Ireland’s top street and contemporary artists.

Moving on from the pilot in November 2022 which featured 30 craft pizza box canvases, this year we’re adding a whole new range of quirky pieces. From painted skateboards, Sketcher sneakers, chairs, a vase, a tablecloth, photography, a tapestry and mirrors, there’s something for everyone.

Funds raised from Outside The Box will support the development and delivery of SCOOP’s specialised programmes that empower displaced and marginalised young people to fulfil their potential in Ireland and abroad, these include SCOOP Art, SCOOP Ed, SCOOP Kitchen, SCOOP Recruit and SCOOP’s emergency relief services.

Twenty Five Years Making Art Together

Added on by Adrian and Shane.

Exactly twenty-five years ago, Shane was studying at the Glasgow School Of Art and I was living in Ireland when we met. On a cold Valentines weekend, I flew to Glasgow to visit him and we got VERY drunk on vodka and began painting. We didn’t discuss what we were doing, we just raised the volume on the stereo and did it. Over that weekend we made 10 artworks (painting, drawing, collage) in a pad. Those works have never been exhibited, in fact very few people have seen them at all. This was the beginning of our collaboration. We never planned on becoming an art duo, it just kind of happened.

17 Ways To A Better You - [Exhibition]

Added on by Adrian+Shane.

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

Added on by Adrian and Shane.
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.

4th - 8th APRIL – SOLOMON GALLERY, DUBLIN

Added on by Adrian and Shane.

INCOGNITO is Jack & Jill’s 2017 public art project, featuring artwork by an eclectic range of talented Irish artists including Adrian+Shane.

This is an exhibition and sale of 1500 miniature pieces of artwork (postcard size) which will be displayed for sale in the Solomon Gallery in Dublin (beside the Westbury Hotel) from Friday 21st April to Tuesday 25th April.

Each piece will cost €50 but you won’t find out the name of the artist until you finalise the purchase of the piece. You might end up with something worth €10,000 or something that you love by a Sunday painter!

All funds raised from this campaign will help provide home nursing care for very sick babies nationwide.

Hares On The March

Added on by Adrian and Shane.

The ‘Hares on the March’ project will see a ‘Gathering’ of 110 3ft tall Hares being designed and beautifully created by an eclectic range of talented Irish artists.

Each unique hare will sit on top of a stylish 4ft tall plinth; these will be located in public accessible places and sold after in a Live Auction event and online in order to raise much needed funds for families of babies with brain damage nationwide. We anticipate that the Hares on the March project will positively contribute to the economic, cultural and social life of the Dublin City, whilst at the same time raising significant funds to support the invaluable work undertaken by The Jack & Jill Foundation.

Adrian+Shane's hare, entitled 'Audience' is on display at the Lighthouse Cinema, Dublin from 22nd January to 29th February 2016.

You can now bid in the online hare auction HERE!
