Title: Megan Rooney
Description: "Fire on the Mountain" is Megan Rooney's first institutional solo exhibition in Germany. Specifically for the space of the Kunsthalle Düsseldorf, the artist created a new body of work centered around a large-scale, site-specific mural seventeen by eight meters in size. She draws the subjects of her works directly from life and her surroundings. These are whimsical and in some cases grotesque everyday experiences, humorous observations, as well as gloomy scenarios, and passionate color compositions. The exhibition is accompanied by [the artist's] first monograph. --Museum website.
