→ Read the interview with Patrick Colhoun, New artist – April 2011
→ Patrick Colhoun is an exhibiting artist at the first edition of Ceramics Now Exhibition, held in Cluj-Napoca, Romania.
“I strive to be unique, my work will divide opinion. It should be the main feature, the talking point. It is strong and masculine, certain pieces animal like. It touches on subjects like sexual deviancy, containment, aggression, with hints of religious symbolism, making distasteful subjects into attractive physical forms.
At this stage of my ceramics career, I am striving to push boundaries all the time in terms of creativity, form and finish. I suspect I always will. I am working largely with black clay which allows me the luxury of leaving parts of the work raw from time to time. I am also particularly interested in exploring how certain materials, such as metal and ceramics work together.” Patrick Colhoun
Patrick Colhoun lives and works in Belfast.
