WHO IS LINDA BUNKER

Linda Brunker is a renowned sculptor known for her unique ‘open filigree’ style of casting bronze. Born in Dublin, Ireland in 1966, she studied Sculpture at the National College of Art & Design. Her innovative sculptures challenged the traditional conception of bronze figures and she received immediate acclaim from critics and interest from collectors.

Her trademark style typically incorporated natural elements to create images composed into flowing shapes which echo the rhythms of fire, water, and wind. Her pieces often have the feeling of being accidental and transitory. She was quickly drawn to public art and in her 30-year career, she has made over 40 public art sculptures which are located around the world.

Here are some examples of her public art:
‘Voyager 1’, 2003 at Laguna Beach, California, USA.
‘The Wishing Hand’, 2000 at the Ministry of Education in Ireland.
‘Plant Form Head – Eternal Spring’, 2014 in Suzhou, China.
‘Gaia’s Garden’ in Suzhou, China.
‘Spirit of Speed’, at the Savoy Automobile Museum, Georgia, USA.
‘Splash’, in Bettystown, Ireland.
‘Fernando’, in Shanghai, China.
‘Soar’, at Dongsha Lake, Suzhou, China.

In addition to these, her work “Voyager” is displayed at Laytown Strand and another piece is located at Barrow Street in Dublin.
