21st Century Follies

Art Pieces by Laurie O’Reilly

Francisco de Goya (1746 – 1828)

Goya was one of the most important European artists of his timw. He was deeply concerned by war, poverty and corruption in the late 18th century Spain. Goya’s final etchings, The Follies, produced at the age of 70, are a haunting and atmospheric series depicting the folly of manknd.

My pieces are created as observations of our new and continuing follies. The composition of my title piece “21st Century Folly” is a derivative of Goya’s “Rediculous Folly”.

The show runs from October 2nd 2025 thru to October 26th 2025 with the opening on Sat. Oct. 4th 2025 from 1 to 4pm.

Gallery hours are 11am to 4pm, Wednesday thru Sunday.
