About the Item
This piece is entitled Heartfelt. It is a large scale outdoor sculpture. The bronze hand holds up a beautiful cracked heart. The crystalline art resin is purposely cracked using a chemical reaction. Then O'Reilly uses bronze staples to mend the heart. He is referencing Kintsugi, a Japanese philosophy, that aims to celebrate the beauty of cracks by highlight them rather than hiding them. O'Reilly is referencing the ups and downs of the human condition. This artwork is unique from a series.
Patrick O’Reilly (b. 1957 Kilkenny, Ireland) is a highly acclaimed Irish artist who studied at the Belfast school of Art. He has since achieved international fame for his innovative and dynamic visual works, having exhibited throughout Ireland & Internationally for over two decades.
His work is included in many international museums and important private collections, and in 1996 he was given a solo exhibition in the Hugh Lane Municipal Gallery in Dublin. O’Reilly has also won many awards including the RHA sculpture prize.
