"From the Crucible: An Exhibition of Bronze Sculpture" Exhibition
Irish Arts Center
This event has ended.
Personal and celebratory, "From the Crucible" features 24 new bronze sculptures from masters Colm Brennan and Leo Higgins. Side by side, continuities and differences begin to emerge between these two artists: Brennan’s sculptures take a figurative approach, directly linking to his childhood in County Mayo, whereas Higgins’ explore abstract themes evoking nature and a sense of place.
The exhibition coincides with the 25th Anniversary of Crucible Arts Services and Technology (CAST Ltd.) Bronze Foundry, founded by Brennan and Higgins in Dublin in 1986. The output of that “crucible,” or vessel, in which bronze is melted, has since spread from their Foundry to many parts of the world.
