Presentation Transcript

  1. Linda Brunker was born in Dublin in 1966and studied Sculpture at the National College of Art & Design where she developed her unique ‘open filigree’ style of casting bronze. Her innovative sculptures challenged the traditional conception of bronze figures and she received immediate acclaim from critics and interest from collectors who rushed to buy her work. The physical reality of metal sculpture is that it is heavy and static. Brunker works against this so that the material seems light and fluid, creating fragile images that defy logic. She was quickly drawn to public art and in her 30 year career she has made over forty public art sculptures which are located around the world
