Ruairiadh O'Connell is an artist and clinical practitioner whose work moves between large-scale installation, community-embedded practice, and the intersection of art with health, perception, and the experience of illness.

Based in London, O'Connell has collaborated with UCL, Parkinson's UK, English National Ballet, the Wellcome Trust, and Alzheimer's Society — using art as a site where medical research and lived experience meet. Alongside an international exhibition career, he holds clinical training in art psychotherapy at the University of Roehampton, affiliated with the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust. His practice asks what art can hold that language alone cannot.
