Anthony Wigglesworth (b. 1979) is an Irish contemporary artist whose practice operates at the intersection of acoustical theory, temporal engineering, and complex systems. Holding an M.Phil. in Music and Media Technologies (1st Class Hons) from Trinity College Dublin, Wigglesworth transposes the principles of sound propagation, rhythm, frequency, and resonance, into a rigorous visual language of abstraction.

His work is characterized by a process-driven investigation into stochastic systems, exploring the tension between ordered geometry and entropic dissolution through custom-engineered tools and fluid dynamics. This inquiry into responsive environments has been established through a significant exhibition history in New York, notably at The Sylvia Wald and Po Kim Gallery. In 2019, his work was featured in the acclaimed exhibition Turbulence alongside international artists held in the permanent collections of The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Most recently, he was one of three featured artists in the 2024 exhibition Genesis at the same venue, an event attended by the Deputy Consulate General of Ireland in New York, marking his third major presentation with the gallery.

Wigglesworth’s dialogue with Information Theory is further distilled in his modular ink drawings, which visualize the "Curtain of Time." Frequently showcased in major art capitals under the direction of curator Odelette Cho with Donghwa Ode Gallery, his work has been a recurring fixture at Art Miami, Art New York, and Art Market San Francisco. His 2024 presentation at Art Miami was attended by the Consulate General for Ireland in Florida and the Head of Culture Ireland in New York, highlighting his stature as a key figure in Ireland’s international cultural vanguard.

In 2026, Wigglesworth’s large-scale work, Solar Storm, will be installed at the Irish Consulate in Manhattan on Park Avenue, a prestigious collaboration with Donghwa Ode Gallery and Culture Ireland.

Over the past two decades, Wigglesworth has established a prominent international profile, defined by major solo thematic presentations including Harmonic Fields (2023), Genesis (2024), and On The Surface Of It (2018). Based in Dún Laoghaire, Co. Dublin, his studio practice functions as a laboratory for psychoacoustic and visual phenomena, shaping conditions in which material, time, and perception continually converge.
