Biography
Award-winning printmaker Vincent Sheridan was born in County Kildare and studied at the National College of Art and Design, Dublin and the Dublin Institute of Technology. He has been working as a full-time artist since 1981. He has travelled extensively and spent time in the Canadian High Arctic. From 1989 to 1998 Sheridan lived and worked as an artist in Toronto and Vancouver, Canada. He returned to Dublin in 1999. In 2007 he graduated with a BA (Hons) in Fine Art, specialising in Video. He joined the Black Church Print Studio in 2000 and previously served on the Board of Directors.
Animals and birds (especially crows and starlings) continue to feature largely in Sheridan’s work, reflecting the social behaviour, flight dynamics and subliminal ‘brushstroke’ patterns of birds in flight. His images often mirror human group dynamics, modes of communication and social interactions.
