Tim Fluck is a ceramic artist based in East Sussex. Since graduating with an MA in Ceramics from UCA, he has gained recognition for his unique approach to his work. He was selected as one of British Ceramics Biennial’s 2023 Fresh Award winners, and in April 2024 appeared on the cover of prestigious anual event Ceramic Art London’s catalogue, where he was selected as ‘one to watch’ by Ceramic Review.
Tim’s tabletop-sized porcelain sculptures have various component parts, arranged to create playful yet precarious architectural compositions. This work brings together seemingly disparate forms and textures, from Minimalist-inspired Brutalism to the maximalism of Memphis Design. Conceptually Tim’s work reflects on the origins of Brutalist architecture, exploring the experience and ‘psychology of space’, and the idea of utopia as ‘the promise of something rather than the endpoint’. The aim, to represent the precarious harmony of hope and the perpetual reach for the elusive promise of utopia.
