Modern Art Oxford presents A Blow by Blow
Account of Stone Carving in Oxford
12 April – 8 June
Through his projects, artist Sean Lynch develops
representations of idiosyncratic moments from the
past, perhaps almost forgotten, but which have left a
trail of objects, events or narratives.
Modern Art Oxford presents his latest project - A Blow by Blow
Account of Stone Carving in Oxford in which Lynch explores
the work of 19th century stone carvers John and James O’Shea,
whose naturalistic renditions of animals and plants are still visible
in locations in Oxford and Dublin.
