John
Conway

John Conway is an Irish painter and sculptor. His practice spans painting, public sculpture, and site-specific installation — works that translate the fleeting experience of shared human space into permanent, tactile interventions in the built environment.

Now based in South County Dublin, Conway works primarily in pigmented pre-cast concrete. His sculptures are engineered for longevity: zero-maintenance, self-healing against abrasion, and resistant to the Atlantic climate. His latest body of work explores the interlocking geometry of collective presence — the moment strangers briefly occupy the same space.

Educated at IADT Dún Laoghaire (BA Hons Visual Arts Practice) and Limerick School of Art & Design, Conway's work has been exhibited nationally across Ireland — from the Bank of Ireland Arts Centre to Visual Carlow — and recognised by adjudicators including Stephen McKenna PPRHA and Amelia Stein RHA.
