Connor Coulston, hailing from Oldham, is an artist whose work is characterized by a blend of self-deprecating humor, vivid imagination, and the tactile nature of clay.

 

Much of Coulston's art stems from his fascination with kitsch ceramic ornaments typically found in charity shops or decorating his grandmother's fireplace. He transforms these seemingly ordinary items by critically examining their legacy and hidden narratives while addressing personal themes such as depression, queer identity, and his grandmother’s affection for right-wing politicians
