Kevin O’Dwyer’s metalsmithing career spans over four decades and is distinguished by a unique fusion of ancient inspiration and contemporary design. Trained in both traditional techniques and modern practices, O’Dwyer has developed a signature style that draws from Irish prehistoric art, Bronze Age artefacts, and early Christian metalwork, while incorporating the clean lines and structural boldness of 20th-century architecture. His work ranges from intimate vessel forms to large-scale sculptural objects, each piece reflecting a deep understanding of form, material, and cultural symbolism. O’Dwyer’s metalwork has been exhibited internationally and is held in numerous public and private collections, reinforcing his reputation as one of Ireland’s leading contemporary metalsmiths.
