Clare O'Toole: Best Before

2 March - 26 May 2024

Mercury Gallery

Exploring consumer culture and the everyday, Best Before is a solo exhibition by self-taught artist Clare O’Toole.

Working in both acrylics and ceramic sculptures, the artist draws from the works of Pop Art legends like Andy Warhol and David Hockney to transform everyday items into vivid still life.

This exhibition captures the nostalgic allure of pantry staples, offering a bold reflection on modern consumption that invites the viewer to examine the transient nature of consumer goods.
