Ian Pollock (B.1975)

Born in 1975. Pollock who lives in Dublin, is primarily a self-taught artist, working exclusively in bronze. His sculptures are cast using a 'cire perdue' {lost wax} method in ceramic shell moulds.

Inspiration for his sculptures comes from aspects of daily life. Pollock sees his work ‘like a three dimensional diary’ and believes that 'good art should reflect the mood of the person that made it'.

“I never limit myself to one subject or style of work and can never say where the work will go next, which makes it exciting for myself and I hope for the viewer. I like the fact that bronze is so permanent,… a bronze sculpture is going to be around forever.”

Pollock’s work has been exhibited and sold throughout Ireland and the UK, including the Oireachtas, RHA and the RUA where he won the Mullan Prize for sculpture in 2003. His work is in many private and public collections in Ireland the UK, Europe, the US and Canada.
