OccupationArtist

Sean Lynch (born 1978) is a contemporary Irish visual artist.[1][2][3] He lives and works in Askeaton, County Limerick, Ireland.[4]

Early life and education

Lynch was born in

History of Art from the University of Limerick.[5][6]

Work

Lynch works with forgotten histories especially those of public monuments.[7] He describes his outlook in an interview: “We live in a time with so much information available to us—the least we can do is try to use it to recontextualize the vicious binary aggression that is linear history.”[8]

Career

Lynch has exhibited with

Tau Cross of Kilnaboy in Rosc '67.[11] In 2019 he created an exhibition about the Yorkshire forger Flint Jack for the Yorkshire Sculpture International 2019 art exhibition, displayed in the Henry Moore Institute.[12]

In 2019 he was Visiting Professor of Sculpture at Carnegie Mellon School of Art, Pittsburgh.[13]

Lynch was commissioned by the

Corkman Hotel", felled elm trees, and parts of Hossein Valamanesh’s artwork Faultline (1997).[4]

Museum projects

Sleepwalkers (2012–15) at the Hugh Lane Gallery, curated by Michael Dempsey and Logan Sisley, was a two-year project in which six artists were invited to use the museum's resources, reveal their artistic process, and to collaborate with each other in this "unusual experiment in exhibition production".[14] This process culminated in each artist developing a solo exhibition at the Hugh Lane Gallery and a publication.[15] Lynch's exhibition was titled A Blow-by-Blow Account of Stonecarving in Oxford and took place during July – September 2013.[16]
