A childhood divided between the rich monastic ruins of Tipperary and the skyscrapers of Manhattan has profoundly influenced Kevin O’Dwyer’s sense of place and the way he approaches the creation of intimate artefacts exploring the subtleties of ritual and imagination.
Irish prehistoric art, bronze-age artefacts, early monastic metalwork, 20th century design and architecture all influence his work, combining the textured surfaces and flowing lines of our past with the strong and austere forms of modern architecture. The ultimate goal is to create a work of art that is timeless, thought provoking and responsive to the human spirit.
