John Behan RHA (b. 1938) is a celebrated Irish sculptor. A founding member of the Project Arts Centre and the Dublin Art Foundry, Behan’s work can be found in major public and private collections throughout Ireland and internationally. This sculpture reflects Behan’s enduring fascination with movement, freedom and the natural world. Cast in bronze, the sculpture captures doves in upward flight, their soaring forms conveying a sense of hope, peace and transcendence. The work exemplifies Behan’s distinctive sculptural style, in which fluid, dynamic forms transform familiar subjects into powerful symbols of the human spirit.
