About the Item
This contemporary pair of ceramic vessels were created by Bruce Cochrane.
A masterful ceramicist. Cochrane has been firing clay for more than fifty years, having developed a signature style that is described as both ‘tactile and dynamic. His eclectic designs are inspired by the rich tradition of early vessel-making around the world, but they remain wholly contemporary.
His organically shaped pieces are designed to be both aesthetically pleasing and useful. He is known for using both wood and gas firing, which creates the distinctive textures and colour variations found in his work. This pair of black columnar vessels illustrates Cochrane’s remarkable ability to manipulate clay into stunning one-of-a-kind architectural pieces.
The dimensions listed are as a pair with a spacing of 3 inches between the columns.
The Relief column on the left measures 26.5H x 11W x 12D inches, and the Relief column on the right measures 24.75H x 9.75W x 12D inches.
“If you think about it, there’s not much that hasn’t been done already with just a straight thrown form, so I find throwing, altering, adding other thrown parts more interesting at this stage. I find it provides an opportunity for more innovative and personal solutions.” Bruce Cochrane
“He truly has magic hands when it comes to our medium.”
Tony Clennell, ceramicist
Born in Vancouver, Bruce Cochrane’s family moved to Montreal, where he was first introduced to ceramics in high school. He continued his education at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design, where he obtained a BFA. In the late seventies, he acquired his MFA from the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University.
Returning to Ontario, he taught ceramics at Sheridan College in Ontario from 1978-2010. He continues to hold workshops and exhibit his work internationally. In a career that spans fifty years, Cochrane has received numerous awards over the years and been nominated several times for the prestigious Governor General’s Award. His work has been exhibited internationally and can be found in collections at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the Gardiner Museum of Ceramic Art in Toronto and the Canadian Museum of Civilization in Ottawa. He is a member of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts (RCA). Bruce Cochrane’s home and studio are in Markdale, Ontario.
