BiographyMichael Coleman, originally from Dublin, studied at the Limerick School of Art. After living for a brief time in Vienna, he returned to Ireland and has remained living and working in Dublin since. His work is included in major collections in Ireland, including Trinity College, the Office of Public Works, this Gallery's collection and the Arts Council collections. At the height of his artistic career he received the Carrolls Open Award at the Irish Exhibition of Living Art (1978) and the IELA Power Award (1979). His recent inclusion in the Irish Art of the Seventies show at IMMA and the Crawford Gallery showed the strength of his work from this period, while his more recent work was exhibited in 2007 at the Cross Gallery in Dublin.
