Aideen Barry

Aideen Barry is a practising Visual Artist based in Ireland but with international representation. In 2020, she was elected to the RHA. She is a member of Aosdána and lectures in several universities and schools of visual art in Ireland, the US and Europe. Barry is an artist whose work encompasses a vast range of disciplines and subjects, such as domestic labour, environmental fracture, and human vulnerability. Her work meditates on feminism, classism, intersectionality, and inequality. Utilising archives, museums, and other dialectic processes, she seeks to transfer the unknown through the experiential, democratising access to visual culture and complex ideas of otherness through clever ploys of collaboration and plot devices that seduce the viewer into her multi-spatial experiences. Her works reflect her commitment to confronting unsettling truths and addressing gaps in the canon.
