Niamh McCann's work is a considered, individual voice in contemporary Irish art; effortlessly correlating strands of three-dimensional work, painting/drawing and installation. This in itself is unpredictable and frequently humorous, as evidenced in the playful use of appropriated political figuration in her body of work, Furtive Tears. Commissions include Bile Buadha, a large scale outdoors sculptural work at Termini Complex, Sandyford and PAVILION/MOTHER’S LAMENT, an outdoors sculptural work at National Museum of Ireland, Museum of Country Life.

Tableaux Vivants at Dublin City Gallery the Hugh Lane

In partnership with Logan Sisley and National Museum of Ireland, McCann co-curated the exhibition Tableaux Vivants at Dublin City Gallery the Hugh Lane, looking at collection artworks as totemic messengers. The exhibition was centered around a series of McCann’s works acquired by the Hugh Lane.
