Eoghan was born in
Edinburgh in 1963, and later studied art at Harrogate College and Leeds Beckett
University. He’s a second generation sculptor and has lived his whole life
immersed in a sculptural environment. So, it’s no surprise sculpture became his
chosen language as he found a way to express himself through metaphorical
compositions of horse and riders. His ability to handle clay and understand on
the moulding process, allows Bridge to explore equestrian composition from an
innovative perspective.
Early on in his career he established a reputation for an
innovative approach to equine sculpture, exploring the dynamics between the
horse and rider. Since then he’s dedicated his life to art, exhibiting
extensively around the world, in private galleries and at art fairs. He’s also
made a few public sculptures and private commissions along the way.
Bridge feels the value of art is not about economic investment, but
instead lies in the authentic communication of human expression – the seamless
transition from within to without. He feels artists have a unique vantage point
to observe life in action, and offer an insight from a fresh perspective, often
positioned outside of mainstream society.
