At the Galway Arts Centre, John Rainey presents ‘Deviations’, sculptures drawn from three bodies of work produced over the past five years: ‘Slip Tank’, ‘Errors’ and ‘Retrofits’. Together, they trace the artist’s approach to deviation from historical source material through slips, misalignments and acts of reconstruction. Working in cast porcelain, metal and marble, Rainey reconfigures the visual language of Classical statuary.
