PIGSY (born 17 October 1972) is an Irish contemporary artist based in Dublin, Ireland. PIGSY is the alter-ego of Ciaran McCoy who uses the pseudonym "PIGSY" in order to separate his work as an artist and his work as an architect. His works are primarily large scale expressionist paintings.
Education
He was schooled through the Irish language at both Primary and Secondary school level and received additional schooling externally for his early diagnosed Dyslexia[1]. He is a graduate of Bolton Street Technological University and prior to qualifying as an Architect, qualified as a draughtsman from Pearce College, Dublin.
