  present a major retrospective of the work of Irish wood sculptor Liam Roe
  (1935–2010)\, running from 1 November 2025 to 1 February 2026.\n\nRoe s
 pent his life cultivating the craft of wood sculpture\, developing his pra
 ctice over several decades. He worked primarily with oak\, walnut\, Spanis
 h chestnut\, elm\, yew and lime\, creating human and animal forms that ref
 lected both Irish cultural memory and everyday experience. His work explor
 ed themes of history\, mythology\, music\, faith\, the natural world\, and
  the bond between mother and child.\n\nBorn in Marino\, North Dublin\, Roe
  began carving in his twenties. In 1962\, he travelled to Oberammergau\, G
 ermany\, to study traditional woodcarving\, and later attended night class
 es at the National College of Art and Design (NCAD). He held his first sol
 o exhibition in 1963 at Brown Thomas\, Dublin.\n\nRoe played a significant
  role in preserving traditional woodcarving in Ireland. He contributed to 
 teaching at the National College of Art and Design (NCAD)\, where his deep
  knowledge and practical skill were respected by students and colleagues a
 like.\n\nThis exhibition\, organised in partnership with the OPW\, brings 
 together a wide selection of Roe’s sculptures\, many of which have never
  before been shown publicly.\n\nImage: "Cut-out lady" in sycamore (1972)"
