Ciarán Bennett explores the paradox of Corban Walker’s prismatic glass sculptures, ahead of his exhibition at Green on Red Gallery

Corban Walker graduated from the National College of Art & Design with a degree in Fine Art Sculpture in 1992. Since then he has had solo exhibitions in England, France, Chicago, New York and Slovenia and regularly at the Green on Red Gallery in Dublin. He first exhibited with Pace Wildenstein in New York in 2000, where his work was subsequently included in the gallery’s ‘Logical Conclusions’ exhibition in the spring of 2004 and the summer group show in 2005. Recently he had an exhibition there entitled ‘Grid Stack’ (Figs 3&7). The artist moved to the United States in 2005 and now divides his time between Dublin and New York. He will have a solo exhibition of new sculptural work at the Green and Red Gallery in Dublin this winter
