Sean Campbell grew up in Belfast, Northern Ireland during the 1970s followed by the personal freedom of living, working and travelling abroad. The direct experience of travel combined with the perspective that comes from returning home has developed an empirical interest in anthropology and abstraction. Sean Campbell trained in visual art in Ireland, Scotland, New Zealand and the United States. He was artist in residence at Northlands Creative Glass in 2009. Recent exhibitions include a solo show “Beginnings Without Boundaries” in the Alley Arts Gallery, Strabane, N.Ireland, “Skulturudstilling” in Denmark, “Vernissage” in Sweden, “Sculpture in Context”, Dublin, Ireland and as Invited Artist with Michael Brolly at The Goggleworks, Reading, USA. Sean holds a M.A. from the University of Ulster and a B.A. Honours from the University of Liverpool. His work is held in public and private collections in New Zealand, USA, Australia, Ireland, Switzerland, Denmark and the U.K. Major public artworks include “Between the known and the Unknown”, N 15 By Pass Joint Public art Commission with Elizabeth Caffrey, “Arc” Integrated Public Art, Bayview Resource Centre, Bangor and “Passage of Time”, Ballymena Museum and Civic Centre.
