Join us on the 12th of September at the Lexicon Studio Dun Laoghaire for a talk from renowned sculpture Rowan Gillespie.

From 1978 to 1986, he held many successful exhibitions in Ireland, at the Lad Lane and Solomon Galleries, in Holland with Galeri Husstege, and internationally, with the Jonathon Poole Gallery, London bringing his work to New York, Cannes, Los Angeles, Stockholm, Cape Town, and Moscow. He regularly exhibited in international group exhibitions including Rencontre avec des Sculpteurs Européens, Pan Amsterdam, Art Expo New York, Art Toronto, Puck Inaugural New York, BCAF Bath, ICAF London, and Art Miami.

In 1989, he decided to concentrate solely on site-specific work, which resulted in a number of major public sculpture commissions, initially in Ireland then around the world.

One of his most prolific public pieces is his thought provoking bronze sculpture "Famine" ,found on the Queys in the heart of Dublin, featuring the survivors of the first successful voyage taken to Newyork during the Famine Period in Ireland.

Come along to hear more insights from Rowan Gillespie, on Saturday the 12th of September.
