BIOGRAPHY

Brian Maguire is an artist who paints as an act of solidarity. He operates through a truly engaged practice, compelled by the raw realities of humanity’s violence against itself, and the potential for justice. Maguire’s preoccupations draw him to the margins of the art world alternative space, prisons, women’s shelters, and psychiatric institutions.

In 2018, the publication of a substantial artist monograph by Kerlin Gallery, Dublin and Fergus McCaffrey, New York, surveyed his career to date.

Public collections include Irish Museum of Modern Art; Dublin City Gallery The Hugh Lane; Museum of Fine Art Houston, Texas; Gementemuseum, Den Haag, The Netherlands and Alvar Alto Museum, Finland.

Maguire lives and works in Dublin and Paris.
