Anthony Scott RUA

Born in rural Fermanagh, Anthony Scott attended university in Belfast and completed an MA in Cardiff in 1993. Scott now lives and works in Blacklion, Co. Cavan, just across the border from his hometown of Enniskillen. Scott is primarily known for his beautifully stylised bronze animals, traditional in form, but with a modern twist. His animals and figures draw upon Celtic mythology and literature, their expressions and stances imbued with human characteristics invoking heroism and passion. They are each open to interpretation and at once animal, divine, spirit, male, female, depending on which story one might choose to recount.
