About the Item
Assemblage is a Fired clay constructed and painted sculpture by Patricia Volk, dimensions are 35 × 90 × 40 cm (13.7 × 35.4 × 15.7 in).
It is a unique signed piece and comes with a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist. This two-part sculpture features curved shapes in vibrant red and orange tones, positioned in a carefully considered composition that highlights balance and harmony between the forms.
Patricia Volk creates abstract sculptures through a distinctive fusion of form and colour. Her artistic journey begins with her cutting into clay—her preferred medium—as she searches for what she considers the ideal line: one that is both simple and full of energy. After being fired, the individual components are assembled into the final sculptural form. As she notes: “There is no pre-thought at all, it either works or it does not. There is such simplicity in a good line that it is completely underestimated, because it is so incredibly difficult […] but so aesthetically pleasing.”
Influenced by the American tradition of painted fired clay, Patricia finishes her pieces using acrylic paints. She selects colour combinations instinctively and personally, though always with deliberate care. Her use of bold, saturated hues brings out the sculptural lines and underlines the tensions and harmonies within the work—between strength and delicacy, solidity and imbalance, weight and airiness. These elements can evoke a wide range of responses in the viewer, from calm and serenity to tension and motion.
Patricia Volk holds the title of Fellow of the Royal Society of Sculptors (FRSS), a prestigious British institution dedicated to promoting excellence in sculpture, and she is also an Academician of the Royal West of England Academy (RWA). Her work has recently been included in the publication “50 Women Sculptors”, featured alongside renowned figures such as Camille Claudel, Barbara Hepworth, Niki de Saint Phalle, and Louise Bourgeois.

Patricia Volk
Patricia Volk’s abstract sculptures are born from the unique combination of two elements, namely form and colour. The intense and vibrant colours used emphasise the shapes of the sculpture, the balances and contrasts between power and fragility, stability and precariousness, heaviness and lightness. Patricia Volk is a member of the Royal Society of Sculptors, an old English organisation promoting excellence in sculpture, and an Academician of the Royal West of England Academ. Her work was recently featured in the book “50 Women Sculptors”, alongside that of very famous artists such as Camille Claudel, Niki de Saint Phalle and Louise Bourgeois. “My obsession is catching a very simple form or line, primarily, then enhancing it with colour. Sometimes I use juxtapositions of two forms that I hope suggest contradictions of strength and fragility, stability and precariousness – like the relationships between human beings.”
