    PATRICK O’REILLY – WOLFHOUND

    This two metre high bronze Irish wolfhound will form the centrepiece of a sculpture garden at Art Source – the Irish contemporary art fair – at the RDS, Dublin from November 11-13. Around 45 artists will have work on display at the sculpture garden which will be at Gormley’s stand.

    “The wolfhound is a giant amongst dogs and deserved to be made into a giant sculpture,” the sculptor said. “Nothing represents Ireland better than the gentle quality of our nature and this is reflected in how I have visualised the wolfhound. They are the tallest dogs in the world but also have the sweetest nature and any country would be proud to have it as a symbol.”
