Biography

Mike Duhan was born in Limerick City in 1956. He attended the Limerick School of Art from1972 to 1974. He is now a member of and has a studio at Temple Bar Gallery and Studios Dublin. Michael is currently working at National College of Art and Design, Dublin and has worked there since 1982.

For Mike the work an artist does expresses who and what he or she is; not only that, the creative processes involved, both physical and mental, serve as exercises in self-exploration and discovery, helping one know oneself. His art, along with the meanings he weaves into it, should in its finality and totality, define who he is or was. On a worldwide level art has that same function namely to serve as a diagnostic tool, a civilizing stimulus and diary of mankind’s journey. Art defines us and helps us understand ourselves, our present and past. our connections to each other and to the world we live in. It allows us to speak to the peoples of the future, it helps to give us vision
