Colm Brennan

Colm Brennan was born in Belmullet, Co. Mayo in 1943. He lives and works in Dublin and has been involved in sculpture since the mid 1970’s. He is a founder member of the Sculptors Society of Ireland, and is a Director of CAST Bronze Foundry in Dublin.

Colm’s sculpture, generally in bronze or combining bronze and stainless steel, travels twin paths of abstraction and naturalism. His work varies in size from large outdoor monumental sculpture to small studio pieces.
