Lockdown loss created winning inspiration for artist now exhibiting in Belfast

Artist Bridget Flinn discovered inspiration in lockdown in simple, everyday scenes around Northern Ireland and recreated them as personal masterpieces that carry meaning for an entire nation.

An experiment in lockdown when she was trapped in Dublin helped move her imagination northwards and as borders opened she dashed to Northern Ireland and spent six month recreating moments in time on canvas.

And now she is revealing her work from that time at a new exhibition in one of the country's leading galleries, Gormley's Fine Art's Belfast. ‘Looking North’ opens on Saturday, June 4 and runs until June 25.
