Born in 1971, Dublin based artist Brian Duggan investigates the physical limitations of the immediate environment on the individual.  Ideas of control and where we stand, how we are tied and what binds us, are continuous references within his artistic practice.   He examines the prevailing conditions of when things go wrong, and sites of stress and breakage.  Citing well known historical events as well as the overlooked small dramas of everyday, he brings physical challenges into the gallery to ask questions, to exert pressure and to push boundaries.   Duggan has exhibited in Ireland and Europe since 2000.
