Biografia

Norman Mooney was born in Dublin, Ireland in 1971. He studied at Crawford College of Art and Design in Cork and completed his BFA at the National College of Art and Design in Dublin in 1992. He then had the distinguished honor of participating in the Third Degree Program at the Irish Museum of Modern Art from 1992 to 1993. In 1994 he relocated to New York City and has been exhibiting locally and internationally for more than 15 years. Recently his work has conjured the image of the actual and representational star shape, which conceptually deals with perceptions of contraction and expansion, the end of what previously was and the birth of something new, transformation on a global scale, and an origin of connectedness. Recent exhibitions include "Absence and Presence" at Causey Contemporary Gallery in New York, "Falling Short of Knowing" show at Milk Gallery in New York, and a sculpture exhibit at Collector¹s Contemporary in Singapore. He also founded a successful design, engineering and fabrication firm dealing in architectural metals. He continues to reside in Brooklyn with his wife and three children.
