Chris Bramble has dedicated his life to the art of ceramics, both as a creator and a teacher. This exhibition showcases diverse clay types and techniques, influenced by the rich tapestry of cultures and life experiences. From figurative to abstract forms, each piece reflects social, political, and personal perspectives, capturing the spirit of clay.
Expressions in Clay invites viewers to experience these reflections and to connect with the multifaceted layers of his work.
Chris Bramble’s Bio
Born in London and brought up in Ipswich, Hastings and Glasgow, it was during college that Chris discovered his connection with clay as a medium for his art. Specialising in ceramics, Chris graduated from The Glasgow School of Art. The contrast of his African heritage and European upbringing lead to Chris’s warm, contemporary style, combining African forms and culture with modern techniques.
In 1985, Chris moved to Zimbabwe where he was influenced by methods of colloquial stone sculpture; he learned processes of carving serpentines and verdites and translated these new forms and techniques to his ceramic work.
Returning to London and gaining his masters in sculpture and multimedia at Westminster University, Chris then went on to set up his own studio in 1988. His ceramics are inspired by life, harmony, rhythm and dance and influenced by the people around him; their spirit and heartbeat are captured in his meditative process as he documents hidden aspects of today’s black culture.
