FROM casting his nets to casting and fusing glass, Eoin Turner’s commissioned art works are a fusion of the classic and the sophisticated and embody his unique bond with nature and his raw, evolving talent.

The Irishman’s classic design and technological skills are a striking, distinctive blend of practicality and creativity that have seen him grow his repertoire from working with glass for architectural applications to creating bespoke installations which are stunning his A-list domestic, corporate and marine clientele.

Using advances in metal plating, Eoin has been able to incorporate larger areas of precious metal plating into architectural panels, making the previously impossible possible and with breath-taking results that have catapulted him into the international spotlight.
Eoin Turner’s creative roots were cultivated in his native Cork where he studied Fine Art, specialising in both painting and sculpture in the city’s Crawford College of Art and Design.

He then followed his father and brother in a long-established family tradition and embarked on a life at sea, spending 10 years as a fisherman, mostly working out of Castletownbere on the stunning and inspiring south West coast of Ireland. It was a workplace which gave him a deep understanding of the sea and passion to reflect it in his creative works.

 In the late ‘90s he followed his dream and moved to the South of France where he spent time working in the luxury yacht industry. Upon returning to Ireland, Eoin and his partner, painter Lorraine Mullins, set up a glass studio specialising in casting and fusing glass for architectural applications. Each unique piece in his collection has an echo of earlier paintings and sculptures. The pieces made from cast glass and formed metal combine to create a subtle and at the same time rugged and defined form.

The distinctive hallmark of Eoin’s work continues to be his creative blend of luxurious colours tempered with precious detail which is at once utterly contemporary while managing to retain a classical sophistication.
