Emmet Kane is an award-winning yet self-taught wood sculptor who lives and creates in Ireland. Kane uses mainly Irish wood that comes from sustainable sources.
His work is constantly developing and evolving, but is largely based around hollow forms and large wall pieces. An example is “PS19EK” which he was created in the early part of this century; itfeatures his distinctive use of gold leaf with ebonised oak and ever-evolving textures to create stunning pieces of wall art. The artist has started to use graphite powder on finishing the pieces which gives them a metallic finish. Kane is excited by the challenge of making, creating and always finds ways of pushing his skill.
