A solo show of new work by Simon Kidd. The exhibition will run from 27 April to 20 May.
About the Artist
Kidd studied fine art in Belfast and Bristol before graduating with a Ceramic Design degree from Central Saint Martins in London in 2018. He spent much of his childhood in the countryside, which is a defining characteristic of his ceramics.
Murlach Bay, in County Antrim of Northern Ireland, is a place that Kidd has visited regularly for many years. The bay became a catalyst for contemplation and the source of inspiration for this exhibition of new work. Kidd's response to the landscape is reflected in the work - he brings "the place into the piece." The beauty of the Irish landscape has been a lodestone for Kidd’s work from the beginning.
He recently wrote that his work "is a response to Northern Ireland as a country in terms of both the civilisation as well as the physical land it encompasses. It is a reflection and a response of the physical, historic, and symbolic."
