Duthain Dealbh

Duthain Dealbh (meaning Fleeting Sculpture in the Irish language and pronounced du-hawn dah-liv), is a group of artists made up of the three Irish sculptors Daniel Doyle, Niall Magee and Alan Magee, all graduates of Fine Art Sculpture from the Dublin Institute of Technology.

Duthain Dealbh was formed officially in 2001 to facilitate the production of large scale sculpture projects and Documentary & film making.

The origins of their involvement in this area stemmed from in an invitation to participate in an international Sand Sculpture event which arrived at the university for Fergus Mulvaney, back in 1993.

Over the last number of years Duthain Dealbh has also branched into Ice sculpting, participating successfully in many competitions and festivals around the world.

Two members, Alan Magee and Daniel Doyle, have returned form an international Ice sculpture competition in Jelgava, Latvia where for the second year running they have been awarded First prize.
