BOB QUINN

Born in 1948, Bob Quinn enjoyed a long career within the Irish advertising business as a commercial artist, visualiser, designer and head of a design & production company.  He has illustrated numerous publications and was a regular contributor of illustrations to the Sunday Independent newspaper. 

In 2002 he decided to give up commercial work in order to become a full-time sculptor.  He joined the Solomon in 2004 and since then his work has appeared regularly in group exhibitions. 

He enjoys the laborious bronze process, working from preparatory drawings to creating the clay original, finally reaching the bronze casting stage where the texture, patina and the permanence of the final sculpture is created.
