Eoin O’Dowd is an Irish multi media artist, living and working between Dublin Ireland and Helsinki Finland. Working in collage, moving image, sculpture and live performance. Thematically Eoin's work concerns frustration with violence in reactionary masculinity and art as a means for catharsis. Their work is heavily influenced by an interest in cultural materialism, and cognitive behavior associated with violent and religious experiences.
Eoin was the coordinator of Eight Gallery Dublin from 2013 - 2018
