Eilis O'Connell Irish, b. 1953

About

Eilis O' Connell's work focuses on signature themes of curvature, edge, and the 'landscape' of sculpture including its negative space often considering air itself as a sculptural medium within and around a piece of sculpture.

Born in Derry, Northern Ireland O'Connell studied sculpture at the Crawford School of art and the Massahusetts Colle of Art in Boston, USA. Since then she has completed many residencies and commissions around the globe and shown at multiple international festivals and institutions, representing both the UK and Ireland at the Venice, Paris and Sao Paolo Biennales.

Her work can be seen in several public locations in London, Cardiff, Newcastle, Bristol, Wolverhampton, Southampton, Milton Keynes, Dublin, Belfast, Dundalk, Mallow and Cork. Other privately commissioned works can be seen at Lismore Castle in Ireland, Cass Sculpture Foundation, Chatsworth House, and Antony House.
