Mary FitzGerald’s recent work has been characterized as ‘an attempt to convey vulnerability through images which are impermanent, transient and almost invisible’. In this book the artist presents a suite of five new paintings, fully illustrated with studio shots and many details. The distinguished critic, Caoimhin Mac Giolla Leith, contributes a rigorous essay which fully situates FitzGerald’s work in the context of international contemporary art practice.
