Dubhaltach Ó Colmáin is an Irish visual artist, illustrator and musician who comes from the background of island life on the Great Blasket island where his family ran the café and hostel for a number of years. He is currently developing a new sculpture studio in the recently relocated Working Artist Studios, a not for profit art initiative of which he is a founding member. He uses a multi-disciplinary approach to his sculptural work and has become fascinated with the process of working with metal, which he views as a metaphor for life; gouging into, melting down, deconstructing and reassembling a hard, cold, resisting material until it becomes something warm, familiar and meaningful.
