Glovebox Gallery’s latest exhibition by artist, Mac Athlaoich, showcases captivating oil paintings inspired by photo finish photography of sprinters. Amidst the success of Irish athletes in the Euro Championships preparing for the Olympics, this exhibition comes around at the perfect time. The body form of pro athletes, as they’re sprinting, should always be studied how Athlaoich studies them.
The immense attention to detail in the muscle curvature and placements, as well as capturing how sprinting feels while watching it is something you don’t want to miss out on. His work is mesmerising and visionary, a must-see exhibition for art appreciators and pro-sprinting confessors alike.
