Extended Teapot

Suttie, Angus

Angus Suttie was a leading ceramic artist of his generation before his early death from an AIDS-related illness. Born near Dundee, he left for London as a young man and in the 1970s became active in the early days of the Gay Liberation Front. Suttie’s exaggerated teapot forms make humorous references to the human body, reflecting his anger at the politics of the Thatcher government. The artist said: “My work is saying I don’t believe in what is happening. The government is stripping everything down to function but life is richer than that.”
