Eoghan Bridges (b. 1963) is an Edinburgh-born, Yorkshire-based artist. He’s a second generation sculptor working in a number of mediums, including bronze, ceramic, resin and aluminium.
His subject matter is often human and equine forms, regularly within the same piece.
I have no background involving horses and I don’t ride. But the horse has such a strong history in art, and its role in building and transport has been fundamental to civilisation.
I find the combination of horse and figure fascinating – it is the subtle composition, almost intuitive. I can express any feeling of emotion through the horse and rider.
Eoghan has endured many tragic experiences in his life, and these have infused into his work.
He sells via his own website and those of a number of galleries, including Kilmorack Gallery and Iona House Gallery.
