About



Brian Teeling is an Irish artist whose practice explores queer identity, memory, and absence through photography, sculpture, and text-based works. His work engages with themes of loss, trauma, and spectral presence, drawing on concepts of hauntology and speculative history to interrogate the traces left behind by queer lives and histories. Teeling’s practice resists traditional representation, using material instability, layered imagery, and immersive installations to explore the intersections of personal and collective memory. His work has been exhibited in major institutions, including the Irish Museum of Modern Art, the National Gallery of Ireland, and the Crawford Art Gallery.
