Forlorn Figure #3 (2020)

Paul Heroux is a ceramic artist living and working in Central Maine. A maker of vessels, his surface decoration references plant life, erotics, landscape, and a number of other changing influences. His work is collected nationally and shown in a number of galleries in Maine and beyond.

Artist Statement

I have been working with the ceramic vessel as a painting surface for over twenty years now, and I am still interested in this three-dimensional canvas because there is always some side hidden, regardless of the vantage point. The patterning on the surface is foremost a response to the form. The imagery has changed over time in reaction to evolving interests and events in my life. Often plant life, erotics, and references to the landscape are present. It is also important to me that my work is visibly strong and durable, so that it invites touch and use. I am a craft artist; tactile experience and the potential for use are crucial to my definition of a craft object.
