Deborah Brown
Renowned in Ireland for her pioneering exploration of the medium of fibre glass in the sixties, Brown has established herself as one of the country’s leading sculptors and has achieved extensive international acclaim. ‘Through the Rock’ her exhibition at Cavanacor Gallery consists of a large selection of figurative works in bronze and papier maché.
‘Through the Rock’ refers to the formative sculptural process and sourcing of materials whereby Brown investigates the potential of her medium and illustrates the fruits of her creative imagination. Her diversity can be seen in this range of sculpture from carefully observed animal and figure pieces to sublime imagined compositions of man pitted against the elements. These she describes as individual ‘happenings’ or ‘scenarios.’ Despite appearances, these scenarios are firmly grounded in reality and are inspired by incidents that have occurred during the artist’s lifetime.
Her work is represented in many collections in Ireland and abroad, including The Irish Museum of Modern Art, the BBC, the Ulster Museum, RTE, Bank of Ireland, the Hugh Lane Municipal Gallery and the Arts Council. She exhibits regularly in the Solomon Gallery, Dublin and the Shambles Gallery, Hillsborough.
