Description
Strabane, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland, UK
Working with West Cork based sculptor Holger Lönze, Graepel was involved in creating a commemorative sculpture to honour author Flann O’Brien. The sculpture is situated outside of the library in his birthplace of Strabane. The work depicts one of O’Brien’s most famous works, ‘An Béal Bocht.’ We used Picture-Perf to perforate images into bronze to recreate the cover of the book. The LED lighting on the inside shines through the various hole sizes creating vivid images of the book cover particularly when it gets dark. The panels used are approximately 2.8m high x 1.5m wide in 2mm thick Bronze. This unique example of the Bronze Picture-Perf sculpture will be a permanent reminder of the local author and takes pride of place in the town.
