"Blue Birds" - art exhibition by Jakobus Smit

Clare Arts Office in conjunction with Cultúrlann Sweeney Library Gallery is delighted to present ‘Blue Birds” an art exhibition by Jakobus Smit.

This exhibition aims to bring awareness to the decline of so many bird species across multiple parts of the Atlantic Archipelago (Ireland, Scotland, Wales and England). To ask if we can do more to protect them? Utilising oversized letters as a device to strengthen their identity and a limited colour palette of blue and grey to create a sense of urgency.

According to Jakobus “The Mission Statement of this exhibition is to be a canary in the coal mine. To sound the alarm, educate and help further push our efforts to protect birds. To inspire future generations, policy makers, product developers and consumers."
