Brian Barry

Artist Bio

Brian Barry is an artist printmaker from Cork. Travel and a love of primitive photography inspired his early work. He’s exhibited two collections of pinhole photos, printed as etchings inspired by travels in Latin America. He lived in Spain for more than a decade where he started an event called Impresiones Gigantes which ran for three years. This was a collective of printmakers who brought their studios on to the street and transformed an industrial road roller into a printing press. He also studied in Granada’s Escuela de Arte during this period. His work has been included in group shows in Ireland, Spain, Australia, USA, Italy and Norway. His most recent solo exhibition, entitled ‘The Toxic Union & Other Stories’, took place in Serbia in March 2022 as part of the Belgrade Irish Festival. He’s also a longtime member of Cork Printmakers.
