Suzy O’Mullane (b. 1958, Liverpool, England) lives and works in Cork and shares her time between there and her studio in the south of France. She was the co-founder of Arttrail in Cork and director from 1996 to 2002. From 2001 to 2004 O’Mullane was on the Board of the Triskel Arts Centre, Cork, and has been a contributor to Ireland’s critical art publication, Circa. She has been awarded several residencies in Cill Rialaig, Ireland, Paris and Berlin as well as several prestigious commissions.
O’Mullane has exhibited in private and state-funded galleries in London, Berlin, Italy and throughout Ireland. Her work has been exhibited at international art fairs including Art Miami, Art Chicago, Art Palm Beach and Art Toronto. O’Mullane’s work has been presented in fifteen solo exhibitions; recent solo exhibitions include the Crawford Municipal Gallery, Cork, Sirius Arts Centre, Cobh, Co. Cork and the Solstice Arts Centre in Navan, Co Meath, Ireland and Skotia Gallery, L.A. O’Mullane’s work was featured in ‘Wildly Different Things: New York and Dublin’, a major international exhibition presented by BlueLeaf Gallery/BlueLeaf Unlimited in Dublin in February-March 2010. O’Mullane’s work is held in private, public and corporate collections throughout Ireland, the UK, USA and in Europe.
Over the past seven years, Suzy O’Mullane’s work has taken a significant departure from her earlier methods of expression and has evolved to employ multiple encoded forms that have become personal allegorical references for the artist. Following her 2005 series, The Colour of Love and Loss, O’Mullane’s focus shifted from the recording of personal experience to using her personal experience as a catalyst to develop a visual language of metaphorical forms.
Throughout her practice O’ Mullane has applied correct draughtsmanship to enable a direct visual understanding of her forms. This visual clarity has provided a basis for extended considerations of O’Mullane’s deliberately altered perspectives and ambiguous projection of objects and references, both spatially and contextually. The artist’s adopted forms - hares, wolves, flowers, birds and female figures - are drawn from personal, historical, religious and mythological contexts and are intertwined with elements of light, darkness, colour, layering, gesturing and gaze. Collectively these elements provide significant keys to understanding O’Mullane’s imagery.
O’Mullane explains the use of her forms: “The intention of the work is to convey emotional and sometimes metaphysical connection, as well as absurd hypothetical situations. Humans and animals have interchangeable roles, and are devoid of accepted markers.”
