John O’Connell lives and works in Dublin and Kildare.  He is an artist working in sculpture, drawing, film and video.  He holds an MA in Fine Art from the Royal College of Art, London (2005) and a BA in Fine Art, from the National College of Art and Design (2001).

John’s work involves an interest in cycles of time, the study of cosmology and curves into unknown worlds of dreams, fantasy and the supernatural. This process of artistic creation begins with drawing, which O'Connell uses to visualize landscapes, characters and structures. These develop into miniature stage sets or environments, populated with strange and imaginative objects that merge with our world through the idiom of sculpture. The end result becomes projected films, site-specific installation and drawing.
