ANTHONY ECCLES
email: anthonyeccles@onetel.com

Anthony Eccles uses the traditional vessel form as a canvas for his highly imaginative and evocative pieces. Often landscape inspired he is excited by the immediacy, fun and energy in children's art and the traditions of naive painters. His animated imagery is created on a stoneware base using sgraffito and inlaid techniques with richly coloured oxides, engobes and glazes building an expressive depth of layers, textures and surface qualities. The robust forms have an energy which captures a sense of space and
a true feeling for the physicality of the landscape. Anthony has a degree in Art History and a City & Guilds training in Ceramics. He has been working in Oxford for the last six years and is a regular contributor to Oxfordshire Artweeks. Anthony welcomes commissions.
