Behold the Curvilinear is an etching inspired by Turner’s curvilinear glass houses at The National Botanic Gardens, Glasnevin. In 2017, a selection of Graphic Studio Dublin members were invited to make work responding to this stunning location. Each artist contributed one work for Another Bite of the Cherry, a show that took place at The National Botanic Gardens. The work was then exhibited in Graphic Studio Gallery, before continuing on to be shown in Sweden. Czerniak-LeBov created a series of etchings as a result.

Waking Dream

Etching/copper plate/photo polymer
26 x 26 cm. Framed
Edition of 15

Waking Dream is a double self portrait, in which the artist has depicted herself both asleep and awake, somewhere between reality and dreams. Remembered space and imagined space and the subjectivity of both, are areas which Ria Czerniak-LeBov has continually returned to throughout her creative practice.
