Astrid Adler is showing the Art-Exhibition: ”NO STYLE” during the Doonbeg Jazz Festival
The artist put this exhibition together to show the diversity of her work. Exploring abstract ancient symbols with charcoal and chalk on big tinted papers creating the look of stone, than, catapulting Celtic Art full colour into the 21st Century, where its construction takes completely different rules; you find Materialism still confused with Surrealism, Andre Breton still discussing with Salvador Dali if he is one, over Illustrations of local fairy tails to some study in pastels of the Stanley range, coming home to prints in Outsider Art “Scattery Island” and old favorite “The Weddingcross”.
Openings hours are: Friday 8-10pm, Saturday 2-5pm and Monday 2-3pm. Artist will be present. Venue: Strandcamping Doonbeg.

The upper part of the cross shows
The seasons to live through
At the bottom the bare winter sun
To the left the unwinding spring sun
At the top the powerful summer sun
To the right the dying off
autumn sun
The first image on the stem of the cross shows two persons holding hands and running over the summit of a mountain
The only way to go in the same time. Not one first and the other following
But if one lets go, both will fall.
The butterfly stands for the being in love, keep seeing the magic, the unknown in the other
Ying and Yang
The moon stands for intuition,
Sharing and similarity
On the contrary to the sun meaning individualism
Under the moon two people holding their heart
At their feet the Celtic tree of life
We grow quicker in honest, loving relationships
All of it resting on the Old Turtle
Who carries the world
Surrounded by the tamed dragon to
protect her
