Clare Arts Office in conjunction with the Edna O’Brien Library in Scariff is delighted to present “Their World, Our Choices” by the Artist Barry Wrafter.
Barry Wrafter is a distinguished sculptor and visual artist exploring the intersection of humanity and animality. Through stone, kinetic sculpture, and painting, he challenges the contradictions in how we assign value to life, using hyper realistic and surrealist imagery alongside dynamic forms.
Currently undertaking a Master’s in Fine Art at Limerick School of Art and Design (LSAD), Barry holds a BA in Fine Art, specializing in Ceramics and Animation, and Postgraduate in Digital Sculpture. He is an experienced instructor in stone sculpture.
Barry’s work has been showcased at Gallery 52 and the historic Church Gallery at LSAD. He has completed numerous public commissions across Ireland.
This exhibition provokes reflection on our moral boundaries, using movement, materiality, and contrast to question where—and why—we draw the line in defining worth, when it comes to the way we treat and view animals.
