| Publisher Description: This catalogue raisonne of the work of Irish artist Janet Mullarney showcases the diverse, innovative, personal and original nature of her work over the last 40 years. Provocatively, she embraces a marginal position between two countries and between art forms and practices: figurative, when the world craved abstraction; a carver when those skills were decried by the avant-garde; architectural and object-based, when sculpture seemed to be moving towards video and photography. While the external targets of oppression are present and obvious, Mullarney's work is focused on more self-imposed restraints. Born in Dublin in 1952, artist Janet Mullarney works between Ireland and Italy. Largely self-taught, she attended the Accademia di Belle Arti, and Scuola Professionale di Intaglio, in Florence. She has exhibited extensively in Ireland, Mexico, Italy, China, and USA. Her public projects include the Waagstraat Project, with architect Adolfo Natalini, Gr ningen; Royal Victoria Hospitals, Belfast; Saint Ultan's Primary School, Cherry Orchard, Dublin, with architects O'Donnell+Tuomey. She has won many awards including the Pollock Krasner, the RHA Sculpture Award, the RUA Perpetual Silver Medal and the O'Malley Irish American Cultural award. Her work is held in many public and private collections throughout the world and was among the first tranche of artwork purchased for collection of the newly established Irish Museum of Modern Art (IMMA) in 1992. She was elected a member of Aosd na in 1999 and is represented by Taylor Galleries, Dublin. |
