Niamh O’Malley

Lismore Castle Arts is delighted to announce we have commissioned Niamh O’Malley to create a new permanent artwork for the former stable yard at Lismore Castle.

Niamh O’Malley works with drawing, sculpture, painting, video, and more recently glass. She is drawn to familiar materials that display traces of their own making, laboring the surfaces and edges of polished wood and graphite panels. Her sculptures are partly reminiscent of furniture; shelves, canopies, panels, and bulk. Through her body of work, the artist continually reminds us of the directed and mediated image - from bench, to view, to landscape.

Lismore Castle Arts is delighted to acknowledge the support of the Arts Council via the Commissions Award in the delivery of this ambitious new work. The work forms part of Niamh O’Malley’s presentation at the Venice Bienniale in 2022, and will be permanently installed and viewable in Lismore from 2023. Please check back in early 2023 for viewing dates and associated events.
