This retrospective exhibition celebrates the life and work of Sean Walsh, an innovative artist whose body of work spans two decades. Sean worked in a variety of media
including stained glass, crushed stone, low-relief carving, acrylics and pastels. At the core of each work lies a skeleton of lines and curves carefully chosen and placed
according to the golden section. This mathematical ratio, found throughout nature, in art, architecture, music and even the cosmos creates shapes that are naturally and
aesthetically attractive to the eye of the beholder.

Sean adopted this mathematical equation as a means of creating balance, order and symmetry. He believed it’s use in art could make a work look natural, calming and ‘right’. Themes of music and nature featureheavily in these works and reflect the artist’s lifelong interests and passions.

This retrospective offers a powerful testament to Sean’s enduring contribution to art. It encourages the viewer to appreciate both the preciousness of life and the power of art to
transcend time and leave a lasting legacy.

This exhibition can be viewed during Clonmel library’s opening hours from Monday the 1st of September to Saturday the 13th of September.
