Conor and Martina, visiting from down South, stopped by our Belfast gallery by chance. Speaking with Janielle, they were truly captivated by the cultural and historical references in ‘Exodus’.
The history of the Irish Exodus is legendary and Bradley’s painting of the same name was created to honour the men and women who left Ireland to start a new life in a different country.
This piece also represents the mass exodus of the ship builders from Harland and Wolff after one of their shifts. The hard-working men of the shipyard, which at its peak had a workforce of 35,000.
Bradley named his exhibition "Exodus" in tribute to all those from Ireland, past, present, and future.
Conor and Martina are thrilled to bring this poignant piece back home with them!
