Originally from Strabane Co. Tyrone, Felim Egan studied at the Slade
School of Art in London and became known internationally early in his
career after representing Ireland at the 1980 Biennale de Paris and at
the Bienal de Sao Paolo five years later. He exhibited widely in Dublin
and Glasgow through the 1980’s, including at ROSC ’84. Egan’s success
continued into the 1990’s with a major exhibition at the Irish Museum
of Modern Art and at Whitworth Art Gallery in Manchester, and numer-
ous awards and prizes including the Premier UNESCO Prize for the
Arts in Paris. He has completed commissions for The National Gallery
of Ireland and Dublin Castle, and the year 2000 saw another major ex-
hibition of his work at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam. A member
of Aosdána, Egan is represented by the Kerlin Gallery in Dublin.
