Located in the market town of Manorhamilton, North County Leitrim, the Leitrim Sculpture Centre is a major resource for the advancement of skills and knowledge in traditional, contemporary and experimental visual arts.ß

LSC supports the material practices of artists and furthers creative engagement with the wider contexts of place and community.

UPCOMING EXHIBITION: Des Cullen, Opening reception: Friday 3rd February at 5-8pm.

'Entanglements' is the title of Des Cullen’s latest one person exhibition and brings together recent work from his time spent as Artist in Residence at the Leitrim Sculpture Centre during 2010/11.

Working with stone, construction materials and found objects Cullen orchestrates a series of sculptural assemblages that explore the tensions between the mediating role of language, concept and text and the forces of materiality that enact the ‘image’ and release the power of metaphor that work within and across ‘things in themselves.’

Des Cullen is an artist currently living and working in Leitrim. He has been associated with LSC for a number of years. He studied sculpture at GMIT where he graduated with Honours in 1996. He recently completed a First Class Honours Degree in Painting in Sligo IT and is currently studying for an MFA at Ulster University, Belfast.

The Gallery is open Monday to Saturday 12pm to 4pm. 
The Exhibition will run until 23rd February 2012.
