Biography
Conor Horgan is an acclaimed photographer, writer and award-winning filmmaker, known primarily for his portraiture. After completing an artist’s residency in the Centre Culturel Irlandais in Paris in 2017 he moved to the city for two years to fully experience the breadth of its photographic culture. Since returning and throughout the lockdowns he’s adopted new approaches to his practice and has moved into other areas of subject matter, mainly landscape and still life. This work has been well received, both by being supported with two Arts Council Agility Awards and being selected for several major exhibitions in 2021 and 2022. Post-State, a solo exhibition of his landscapes and found objects, was held in the Royal Hibernian Academy in October 2022. His work has been selected for the Royal Ulster Academy annual Open in 2021 and 2022, RHA Annual open in 2016, 2022 and 2023 and the Rua Red Open in 2023. Two of his works are in the OPW State Art Collection, three works are in the collection of the Little Museum of Dublin and many others are in private collections. He has recently been commissioned by the T.S. Eliot Foundation to produce a limited edition print to commemorate the centenary of The Waste Land.
