Early life and education


Lynch was born in County Kerry, Ireland in 1978 and studied art at the Städelschule. He has a master's degree in History of Art from the University of Limerick.[5][6]


Work


Lynch works with forgotten histories especially those of public monuments.[7] He describes his outlook in an interview: “We live in a time with so much information available to us—the least we can do is try to use it to recontextualize the vicious binary aggression that is linear history.”[8]


Career


Lynch has exhibited with EVA International (2006), and had solo exhibitions with the Crawford Gallery (2011), Hugh Lane Gallery (2012–15), Modern Art Oxford (2014), representing Ireland at the Venice Biennale in 2015,[9] Royal Hibernian Academy (2016), the Charles H. Scott Gallery (2016), the Rose Art Museum (2016), and the Douglas Hyde Gallery (2017).[1] In A Rocky Road at the Crawford Gallery, he investigated the legacy of Eilish O'Connell's Great Wall of Kinsale.[10] In his Douglas Hyde Gallery exhibition, Lynch made work about the relocation and presentation of the Tau Cross of Kilnaboy in Rosc '67.[11] In 2019 he created an exhibition about the Yorkshire forger Flint Jack for the Yorkshire Sculpture International 2019 art exhibition, displayed in the Henry Moore Institute.[12]

In 2019 he was Visiting Professor of Sculpture at Carnegie Mellon School of Art, Pittsburgh.[13]

Lynch was commissioned by the City of Melbourne to make Distant Things Appear Suddenly Near in 2021. The public artwork consists of a "scale replica of the Corkman Hotel", felled elm trees, and parts of Hossein Valamanesh’s artwork Faultline (1997).[4]


Museum projects


Sleepwalkers (2012–15) at the Hugh Lane Gallery, curated by Michael Dempsey and Logan Sisley, was a two-year project in which six artists were invited to use the museum's resources, reveal their artistic process, and to collaborate with each other in this "unusual experiment in exhibition production".[14] This process culminated in each artist developing a solo exhibition at the Hugh Lane Gallery and a publication.[15] Lynch's exhibition was titled A Blow-by-Blow Account of Stonecarving in Oxford and took place during July – September 2013.[16]
