Backwater Artists Group Members' Exhibition 23 April–16 May 2026
Natura is the Latin origin of the word nature, and in its original form the word was used to describe the essential qualities of a person or thing. Only later, through the lens of philosophy, was it used to describe a whole system of existence; or, in a narrower form, all physical life not controlled by humankind.
This exhibition, curated by Brian Mac Domhnaill, explores the unusual and often strained relationship human beings have with the natural world and how, through the lens of art and other manmade creations, nature is celebrated, analysed, objectified, abstracted or assimilated to communicate a personal or shared response to the world around us.
