Major Margey exhibition celebrating Derry, Donegal & Causeway Coast set for The Ebrington Hotel

This will be the first art exhibition to be held at the iconic Ebrington Square venue, which opened in 2023.

Well-known for his contemporary and traditional depictions of Ireland’s landscapes and landmarks, Margey’s latest collection will place a focus on the North West. Derry City’s landmarks, the rugged beauty of Donegal and the charm of the Causeway Coast have inspired this new body of work.

“I am over the moon to be exhibiting my work at The Ebrington Hotel. I feel it is fitting that this new body of work is being staged in a key piece of tourism infrastructure that links the Causeway Coast and Donegal,” Margey said.

“Sitting at one end of the Peace Bridge, I have taken great inspiration from the views of the city from Ebrington. I also appreciate the significance of the hotel for the city’s regeneration and am very excited to welcome local visitors to the show.”

Visitors should expect an eclectic exhibition filled with vibrant landscapes, dramatic cityscapes and dreamy beach scenes. From pulsating representations of The Peace Bridge, Guildhall and Shipquay Street to portrayals of Inishowen, Errigal, Marble Hill, Downings, Glenveagh, Downhill, Portrush and Portstewart, this promises to be an exhibition of contrasts.

Margey first shot to notoriety because of his bold and colourful style. He is now also winning a great deal of praise for his more subtle, impressionistic works that embrace a naturalistic colour palette.

During lockdown, Margey became popular among school children across Northern Ireland as a result of his online home-schooling tutorials, and he recently held his first USA exhibition in Washington DC.

The artist will be present throughout the show to discuss the work on show. Exhibition Opening Times: Friday February 2: 6pm – 9pm, Saturday February 3: 11am – 8pm and Sunday February 4: 11am – 6pm.
