Visual Artists To Watch Out For: Sibyl Montague

Sibyl Montague’s practice incorporates sculpture, video and installation. A graduate of Chelsea College of Art and Design in London, Sibyl has gone on to earn a number of prestigious awards, including the Institut Francais Residency Programme at the Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris. She was also named as the Emerging Visual Artist by the Wexford Arts Centre in 2012. An artist in residence in the Temple Bar Art Gallery (of which she is also a director), her recent exhibit, Saplings, is a site-specific installation of sculptural designs based around the speakeasy that Montague’s grandfather worked and drank at in New York in the 1920s. Many of the pieces are composed of found materials, used to represent modern consumption. For more, go to http://www.sibylmontague.com/
