Saturio Alonso – Open Studio
Born in Spain (1954) and a resident in Ireland, Saturio Alonso is a sculptor with a background as a painter and graphic designer. Very interested in the aesthetic content of religious art, and drawing from his Spanish background, his present work is a reflection about the use of art as propaganda, focusing in the naturalistic depiction of the human body in nature. He is a founder member of EL CUBRI, a mentor in KCAT, Callan and Kingsriver, Co. Kilkenny and his work can be found in various public spaces around Ireland and in private and public collections in Europe and America.
