Cillian Finnerty

Cillian Finnerty is an artist based between London and Co. Mayo, working primarily in installation and sculptural assemblage. His practice makes extensive use of found text, audio, and objects to produce diagrammatic arrangements that deliberately muddy meaning and narrative, with property, social arrangements, and labour as recurring subjects.

Cillian is a graduate of the Fine Art programme at NCAD (2016) and School of the Damned (2024). Recent presentations of his work include Several Small Motors (Pallas Projects, 2025), Remains (Greatorex St, London, 2024), and Permanent Mirage with Coilin O'Connell (Radion, Amsterdam, 2024).
