Barry Gibbons is an artist and educator based in Dublin, Ireland. His work examines the spaces between drawing and experimental animation, often in collaboration with musicians. Loops of movement and dynamic rhythms are generated through a re-imagining of the Rotoscope process, engaging both analogue and digital modes of production. He has been a studio member of The Complex (Dublin, Ireland) since 2020
He is a graduate of the BA Fine Art at the Technological University Dublin (2011), Professional Masters of Education at the Limerick School of Art and Design (2016), and MFA Fine Art at the National College of Art and Design (2020). Recent projects include participation in ‘Magnetic Observatory’ (Mart Gallery, Dublin), ‘Warszawa’ with musicians Gareth Quinn Redmond and Albert Karch, and the music video ‘Future 87’ with The Bonk. In 2022 he received the Agility Award from the Arts Council of Ireland. He is currently Assistant Lecturer in the Painting Department, School of Fine Art, at the National College of Art and Design.
