Bio

Éadaoin Glynn is a painter based between Cork and Kerry, Ireland.  Her work centres on female experience: ageing, visibility and the body as a site of cultural pressure. Her education includes the RHA School and Turps Correspondence Course.  She paints with acrylic on raw and primed canvas, using paint’s tendency to bleed, stain and resist control to produce surfaces that feel vulnerable and unstable.
 
Solo exhibitions include Studio 12, Backwater Artists Group, Cork [2026], Signal Arts Centre, Bray [2025], Limerick Museum [2024] and ArtNetDlr, Dublin [2024].
 
Group exhibitions include the 195th RHA Annual Exhibition; Women In Art Fair, London; the 200th RSA Annual Exhibition, Edinburgh; RBSA Prize, Birmingham; BEEP Painting Biennial, Swansea, Wales; The London Art Biennale; Toolip 4th International Art Contest, Toolip Art Gallery, Vienna; Sasse Museum of Art, L.A.; Cairde Visual, Sligo; The Hunt Museum, The James Joyce Centre, Dublin; Dlr LexIcon, Dublin; The People’s Museum, Limerick; The Lavit Gallery, Cork; Uillinn West Cork Arts Centre; The Courthouse Gallery, Ennistymon; Dunamaise Arts Centre, Portlaois; GOMA, Waterford; LHQ Gallery, Cork and the Outset Gallery, Galway.
 
Éadaoin co-founded WoManifest collective with Mary Bowen-Galvin and Oonagh Hurley. Collaborations include Transitus, Backwater Artists Studios [2024]; Threshold, The Laneway Gallery, Cork [2026] and The Feminine Article, Cnoc Buí Arts Centre, West Cork [forthcoming 2027].  Éadaoin’s work was published in Profiles, The Purposeful Mayo and Murze Art Magazine. In 2023, she founded The Warrior Artist Podcast as a resource for visual artists. She is a member of Backwater Artists Network and Sample Studios. Her work was acquired by the Department of Foreign Affairs for the Irish embassy in Wellington and is in private collections in Ireland, UK, Austria, France, Germany, Singapore, USA and New Zealand. 

Artist Statement

I am a painter whose work centres on female experience: ageing, visibility, and the body as a site of cultural pressure. Working with acrylic on raw and primed canvas, I use paint’s physical properties, its tendency to bleed, stain and resist control, to produce surfaces that feel bodily, vulnerable and unstable.

My paintings engage with what culture does to women’s bodies and how women negotiate that pressure from the inside. Sections of faces and bodies emerge from abstraction. This reflects how women are trained to self-examine their faces and bodies, in pieces and in sections, measuring each part against an ideal. The female body is a site where identity and value are constantly being negotiated and contested.

My current work addresses ageing and the midlife female body, examining how women are rendered invisible at the precise moment they become most fully themselves.
