20 Years of Cavaliero Finn
Revisit Cavaliero Finn's landmark 20th anniversary exhibition at Stockwell Studio 8 May - 1 Aug 2024
In 2004, Juliana Cavaliero and Debra Finn curated their first exhibition as Cavaliero Finn in a home in South London and they haven't looked back since.

For this exhibition, Cavaliero Finn returned to its South London roots to celebrate its 20th birthday at Stockwell Studio. The exhibition featured a wide range of artists who have shown with the gallery over the last 20 years including work by our current portfolio of artists and work from some of our earlier artists, like painters Holly Frean, Daisy Cook and Caroline Popham, paper artist Thurle Wright, designer makers Sam Edkins and Deborah Bowness, and sculptors Tom Stogdon, Danuta Solowiej, Merete Rasmussen and Patricia Volk who returned to the gallery as guest artists for this show. The exhibition also included an installation by textile artist Isabelle Fletcher and new work by Lise Herud Braten, the most recent additions to the Cavaliero Finn portfolio.

Biography

Tim Martin constructs unique, mysterious and elegant ceramic sculptures and vessels. They stem from an architectural background, and a love of 20th Century minimalist modernist artists such as Arp, Miró, Brâncusi, Ellsworth Kelly, inspiring a reductive approach to his making.

His work distills landscapes, figures and natural objects to their simplest forms. They aim to push an emotional response - a memory, a human pose, an exotic garden, a hint of something familiar, yet enigmatic, ambiguous.

The sculptures suggest a layered and graphic aesthetic, often playing off each other as assemblages.

In 2019 Tim was one of 21 selected artists at Fresh in the British Ceramics Biennial in Stoke-on-Trent, UK

Fresh celebrates the UK's most talented recent ceramics graduates and is one of the flagship exhibitions in the British Ceramics Biennial festival. Fresh celebrates and gives a critical platform for the new wave of makers, artists and designers working in clay as they begin their creative careers.

Tim has subsequently been awarded three international residencies; the International Ceramics Studio at Kecskemét, Hungary, March - June 2020, the Guldagergaard Residency at the International Ceramic Research Center, Denmark, also in 2020, and the JCI International Research Residency at Jingdezhen Ceramic Institute, China in 2021.
