Patrick Amiot is a sculptor originally from Montreal and now living and working in Sebastopol, California.

 

Amiot’s sculptures link the 19th and early 20th century genre tradition of Quebec to a contemporary pop and folk statement. Described as an urban folk sculptor, Amiot's ceramic and mixed-media work ranges in subject matter that reflects acute observation and the sense of humour he finds in daily life. Hockey players, musicians, quirky cars and trucks, fishermen and farmers, street scenes and interiors all appear as Amiot’s subjects.

 

His work displays an immediacy and yet a formidable attention to detail, making it appear as if working in clay were a spontaneous process. His partner, Brigitte Laurent, completes Amiot’s sculptures, painting them with fine brushwork and a sophisticated and lively sense of colour.

 

Patrick Amiot has completed many commissions over the past twenty years, including for the Expo 86 British Columbia Pavilion in Vancouver, for the Winnipeg Jets in1993, for Standard Broadcasting, Toronto in 1995, and for the Sonoma County Museum, California in 2004.

 

In 2017 a documentary was created called Junkyard Alchemist. Click here watch the trailer.
