Ain’t it a beauty?

Created by our very dear and talented friend Cristina Sampaio, it picks up on the theme of one of this year’s central exhibitions – “Beasts!”

Cristina’s work appears in major newspapers across Europe and the USA, including Courrier International and The New York Times, and she is well known too for her fabulous – and controversial – animated contributions to Spam Cartoon on Portuguese TV. You may have caught the great workshop she gave in Cava last year about her artistic method, or have heard her speak both movingly and hilariously in the round-table discussion we held in An Taibhdhearc back in ’22.

Sadly Cristina cannot join us in Galway this October as she will be having her own solo show in the Amadora International Comic Festival in Lisbon. Do check that out if you’re in the vicinity.
