Liam O'Callaghan (B. 1968 Dublin) lives and works in Dublin. He has had a major solo exhibition at the Royal Hibernian Gallagher Gallery, Dublin and other solo projects in Ireland and group projects in England, Ireland and Canada. He studied graphic design in DILADT and had his first solo show, The Good Room, in 1996 which toured to the City Arts Centre, Dublin and the Belltable , Limerick. O'Callaghan's exhibition 'I'm a Success' was widely exhibited – first in the Gallery of Photography, Dublin then the Errigal Arts Festival, Donegal and later Belgium. In 2001 O'Callaghan collaborated with artist Ana Rackard to produce the book, 'Fish Stone Water Holy Wells of Ireland' in which his photographs were featured. In 2005 his work was part of the Eurojet Futures an Anthology, in the R.H.A, Dublin and the artist had a residency at IMMA where he exhibited his work in the Process Room.

"My work comes from the need to make pieces that are more of a free flow of creativity , focusing on the physical pleasure of making, something that is rough in aesthetic where you can see the thinking of it’s maker, something that is freer from the limitations I put on myself, that is simple in thought, but unashamed , confident and honest, work that is about possibilities, that is an attempted manifestation of the importance of freedom and the action of an expression, a freedom in the acceptance of failure but with knowledge of the poetry in trying, that looks at and created moments of optimism, dependence, personal freedom and the necessity and failure of idealism. " Liam O’Callaghan 2006
