Celtic Art & Sculpture - Irish Artist Denis Lynch based in Cork Ireland |
Excerpts from Art Critique Written By Vera RyanHe goes to pre-monotheist cultures to see forms, images and stories which acknowledge nature as powerful. Thus some of the sculptures have a slightly Oceanic, African tone; others are Celtic. He uses the totom pole structure at times incorporating it into an Irish context. The work is vigorous and honest and developes debate on urgent and topical issues such as gender and ecology. The energy and vitality of Artists like Denis Lynch and the exploratory nature of his work surely attests to a society where Art at last, or once more, may find a central place. |
