Anthony Scott was born in Co. Fermanagh and attended university in Belfast before completed an MA in Cardiff in
1993. Scott is primarily known for his beautifully stylised bronze animals that draw upon Celtic mythology and lit-
erature, their expressions and stances imbued with human characteristics invoking heroism and passion. Having come
from a farming background; animals have always been an important source of inspiration for Scott and through bronze
he attempts to capture the essence of the animal.
Scott has been a regular annual exhibitor at the Royal Hibernian Academy and has shown extensively in Ireland, the
UK and at numerous international art fairs. In May 2011, HM Queen Elizabeth II unveiled a new sculpture by Antho-
ny Scott at the Irish National Stud in Kildare. His work is also included in the public collections of the Arts Council of
Northern Ireland, the Barbican Centre, London, the Crafts Council of Ireland, the US Ambassador’s Residence in the
Phoenix Park, Dublin, AIB Bank Centre, Kelly’s Hotel Rosslare and in numerous important private collections.
