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.
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.
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.
