Joanna O’Kane
Joanna O’Kane’s work includes bronze, glass fibre and wax sculptures. It also features unique site-specific installations conceived for individual gallery spaces. It is a fascinating mix of classical and experimental materials and techniques and invites investigation into the process of production and the enigmatic qualities of the sculptor’s practise.
O’Kane has exhibited extensively nationally and internationally. She has participated in group exhibitions in Sligo Art Gallery, Boyle Arts Festival, Malone Gallery, Belfast, Royal Ulster Academy Exhibition, Ulster Museum, Oireachtas, Guinness Hop Store, Dublin, Irish Cultural Institute, Paris, The Arts Council Gallery, Belfast, Concorso Arredo Urbano, Faenza, Italy
The solo exhibition at Cavanacor Gallery follows on from O’Kane’s critically acclaimed solo show entitled ‘Concealment,’ hosted by the Context Gallery, Derry in 2003.
On this occasion, the Guardian commented: “Joanna O’Kane has created her enigmatic performance sculptures since the early 1980s, choreographing the simple scenarios that explore the body and the objects and materials it comes into contact with.” May 2003.
Her work is included in a number of private and public collections. She is featured in the collection of Former U.S.A. Ambassador to Ireland Jean Kennedy Smith, Former President Mary Robinson, Dr. & Mrs Garrett Fitzgerald and President Mary McAleese.
