Norman Mooney

Norman Mooney was born in Dublin Ireland in 1971. He studied at the Crawford College of Art and Design in Cork and completed his BFA at the National College of Art in Dublin, 1992. He then received the distinguished honor of participating in the Third Degree program at the Irish Museum of Modern Art from 1992 to 1993. In 1994 he relocated to New York City and has been exhibiting locally and internationally for more than 20 years. Norman makes works that are at once physical and metaphysical. His works explore the elemental and cyclical synergies of nature. Materiality, pattern, scale, and experience are key concerns within his practice. Norman makes sculptures, interior and exterior installations, drawings, and works on paper, his methodology is one of experimentation and process with materials such as smoke, glass, steel, and resin. Recent exhibitions include Lightscape at Brooklyn Botanic Garden in New York, Nanhai Art Festival in Guangdong China, and Carolina Sardi & Norman Mooney at Waterhouse & Dodd in New York.
