PhotoIreland announces the names of the four artists awarded a studio space at the International Centre for the Image for 2025, supported by the Arts Council of Ireland. The selected artists represent a variety of career stages and practices, as well as different focuses for the residency period.
Eamonn Doyle is a Dublin based artist, best known for his Dublin trilogy that culminated in a ground-breaking exhibition at Les Rencontres d’Arles 2016. Doyle will be working towards a solo multimedia exhibition at the International Centre for the Image, launching in January 2026. Emma O’Brien is a lens-based artist whose work explores the psychological, political, physical, and metaphysical landscapes of care. During the studio period, she will be developing a new body of work. Evanna Devine is a photographer from Belfast whose work is driven by a commitment to storytelling and community collaboration. She will focus on consolidating a current body of work and researching and developing a new project. Vera Ryklova is a Dublin-based artist working across performance, photography, moving image, and installation. She will be able to utilise the resources of the space to prepare for a solo exhibition and a publication.
The artists have the opportunity to work in a supportive and creative environment with regular and easy access to the library, art bookshop, and the centre’s staff.
