A New Life Force is a major new exhibition bringing together three painters each gaining international recognition: Nathanaëlle Herbelin, Kemi Onabulé and Megan Rooney.

Working across distinct visual languages shaped by diverse cultural backgrounds, the exhibition offers a compelling insight into the next generation of women artists who are redefining contemporary painting today. Together, the three artists demonstrate the enduring vitality and transformative possibilities of painting today. Through deeply personal yet resonant approaches to colour and place, memory and human experience, the exhibition offers a timely reflection on contemporary painting as a site of experimentation, emotion and renewal.

Curated by Edith Devaney, Artistic Director of MICAS, the exhibition reflects the museum’s commitment to supporting artists at pivotal moments in their careers while fostering new international dialogues around modern and contemporary art.
