Edward Delaney RHA (1930-2009) WARRIOR, c.1960s bronze 17.5 by 7 by 6in., 43.75 by 17.5 by 15cm. P Warrior is a typical mid-career bronze by Edward Delaney. Inspired by Irish mythology, and in particular the heroics of Cúchulainn, the sculpture is a highly modernist work which captures Delaney`s pursuit of a pure sculptural expression in the shape of a surreal and almost abstract figure. This is what the art historian Dr Róisín Kennedy described, in her essay on the artist for his 2004 RHA retrospective, as the sculptor`s persistent search for the vital form". Warrior was first exhibited at a one man exhibition in the Building Centre, Baggot Street in 1960 and at a further exhibition in the David Hendriks gallery in 1966. It has since been included in many group shows and exhibitions."
