About the Artist
Simon Carroll was a distinguished British ceramicist and sculptor whose work profoundly redefined the boundaries of contemporary ceramics. He was celebrated for his raw, expressive, and often imposing ceramic figures and vessels, which combined a masterful understanding of clay with an embrace of spontaneity and imperfection. Carroll's approach to his medium was exceptionally dynamic, allowing the material's inherent qualities and the firing process to dictate form, often resulting in works that blurred the lines between sculpture, painting, and traditional pottery. His art possessed a powerful, earthy vitality, infused with a grotesque beauty and a deep connection to the elemental forces of creation.
