About artist: Sorcha McNamara is a visual artist living and working in Mayo. Her practice explores the transgressive possibilities of painting, specifically looking to dismantle how painting is seen, framed, structured, and positioned. These possibilities are shaped by processes of material resourcefulness, gestural inventiveness, and acts of improvisation with things that are often found, reclaimed, or holding traces of a previous existence. Concurrent to her methods as a painter, Sorcha's practice also falls into installation-based interventions and site-responsive drawing with objects, space and light. She holds a BA in Fine Art from Limerick School of Art & Design (2019), and is currently completing her MA in Art + Research Collaboration at Dún Laoghaire Institute of Art, Design & Technology (2024). Her works have been exhibited in Ireland and internationally, in Tokyo, Lisbon and London. Recent solo exhibitions include 'Fathomless Arms' at Ballina Arts Centre IE (2023), '(dis)attachments' at the Hyde Bridge Gallery, IE (2022) and Oonagh Young Gallery, Dublin, IE (2022). She is the recipient of a Mayo Artist Bursary Award (2023, 2022) and has received an Arts Council of Ireland Agility Award (2022, 2021) in support of her practice. She has previously been selected for residencies at Totaldobze Art Centre, Riga (supported by Ormston House, Limerick and the Artist-Run Network Europe project, 2022); Joya AiR, Almeria (2022); Tangent Projects, Barcelona (2021); and PADA Studios, Lisbon (2020). Collections include The Office of Public Works (OPW) and The Hunt Museum, Limerick, as well as private collections in Europe and the UK.
