REF No 53 SCULPTURE IN CONTEXT 2023
I cannot remember seeing anything by Michael at any of the Sculpture In Context exhibitions to date.
One of my favourite sculptures in Ireland is the “Dockers” in Limerick. Limerick born artist Michael Duhan was selected to make a permanent tribute to the Limerick Dockers, as his father was a docker and worked on ships. The dockers performed one of the most difficult and challenging ways to earn a living in the City. This life size bronze sculpture reflects with honesty and integrity the physical work and the camaraderie that existed between the Dockers
Mike Duhan was born in Limerick City in 1956. He attended the Limerick School of Art from 1972 to 1974. He is now a member of and has a studio at Temple Bar Gallery and Studios Dublin. Michael is currently working at National College of Art and Design, Dublin and has worked there since 1982.
He began sculpting in 1984 and had his first exhibition in 1986 at Temple Bar Gallery, Dublin. He would describe himself simply as a figurative sculptor working in several mediums including metals, plastics, and ceramics.
