Description
Title: ONE AT A TIME, 2019
Note: Sonia Shiel’s interdisciplinary practice combines key methodologies from art, law and theatre to imbue characteristics, autonomy and fictional narratives in the works she creates. Usurping the normal conditions of an artwork with a kind of self-conscious agency usually reserved for living things, her works are often free-standing; traversable; presented with their own volition, backstory or environment; and sometimes consolidated within installations that use audio-work, performance or video. She has had recent exhibitions at the Kevin Kavanagh Gallery, Dublin; The Glucksman Gallery, Cork; Artbox, Dublin; The NCAD Gallery, Dublin, The Crawford Gallery, Cork, Rua Red, Dublin; The Irish Museum of Modern Art, the RHA Galleries I and II, where she won the Hennessy Craig Award for Painting and the Butler Gallery, Kilkenny, where she won the Tony O'Malley Award for Painting, among many other shows and awards. She is represented by the Kevin Kavanagh Gallery and her work is in a number of private and public collections including: DLR Municipal Collection, The Arts Council, The Office of Public Works, The City of Frankfurt and The Glucksman Collection. Shiel is represented by the Kevin Kavanagh Gallery, Dublin.
