Kintsugi is built on the idea that in embracing flaws and imperfections, we can create a stronger & more beautiful piece of art. Spanning a wide variety of subjects, from dolls to rocking horses, hearts to pillars and alabaster blocks, O’Reilly’s new body of work is completed in his signature bronze with new experimentations in resin, and stone.
