Cian Duggan
Biography
Birdsong Breath, 2023
Cian Duggan (b. 1990, Wicklow, Ireland) is a self-taught artist whose multidisciplinary practice spans painting, installation, sculpture, and collage. His work unsettles anthropocentric narratives and linear perceptions of time, framing the body and the environment as entities in a state of perpetual flux. Duggan views his entire practice as a singular, evolving work that reconfigures itself through varying temporalities and geographies, blurring the boundaries between the past, the present, and the more-than-human. Currently living and working in Ho Chi Minh City, his work can be found in the collections of the Nguyen Art Foundation (Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam) and Post Vidai (Geneva, Switzerland and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam).
