BIO
AREAS OF EXPERTISE: Sculpture (wood carving)
Denis Lynch was born in Cork in 1960 but spent his formative years in Ennis, Co. Clare before returning to Cork in 1980. He attended the Crawford College of Art and Design from 1980 to 1984, graduating with a degree in Fine Art/Sculpture. He moved to London for a year and after travelling to India, Nepal and Australia, he took up a post as a Technical Officer in the C.C.A.D. in 1986, where he currently works.
His woodcarvings are an attempt to articulate the primordial forces of nature. He believes that humanity has always attempted to articulate the world and its elemental forces through art as a medium of understanding the ineffable. Art provides a set of motifs in order to have a semblance of control, even if we know this is not the case! He believes art remains one of our methods of survival in a universe we cannot fathom.
