The 16 contributors in this exhibition are linked by virtue of their participation in life drawing and painting classes given by the artist and writer, Jo Allen. That these women came from backgrounds which differed in terms of experience and art qualification seems hardly an issue, as the intended spirit of creativity, individuality and self-expression seems to have been achieved by all.

Subject matter is exclusively of the female figure - a feature which might overwhelm those who enjoy thematic diversity within a group show. That said, there are no limitations in the range of approaches taken, as each artist interprets the figure differently. Therefore, noting comparisons on the nature of these differences is particularly interesting.

Gladys Leach will be especially well known to Corkonians, and by all accounts her involvement in the classes was an inspiration to others. Now in her 80s, she has shown a willingness to suspend her detailed graphic style, producing work in a more fluid and expressive manner. Such sparks of inspiration can be felt from all the contributors, alas too numerous to mention.

Bill Griffin incorporates decorative embellishments and strong contrasts in one of her contributions - the mask adorning the model lending an air of mystery. Rosemary Gaynor's The Dancer has a certain elegance, the figure seen in profile is rendered using a slightly exaggerated colour range. Glynnis Trinder's nude also has elegance to it, this time marked by the sweeping flow of the model's back.

Olivia Howe's sepia monochrome, After the Dance has a lively energetic feel to it, while Kay Scully adds emphasis to space surrounding the figure, treating both in a loose, open style.

Until August 14th
