Stephen and Lorna Kirin first met in 1986 at North East London Polytechnic, whilst studying Sculpture and Painting as part of their Fine Art Degrees. At that time, their lives went different ways, but by 2016 they found themselves going in the same direction and they have been together ever since. They continue to create individually, but from 2016 have also been working collaboratively. (See the links below to discover more about their individual work.)
Over the years their collaborative work has evolved into a very natural expression of how two artists respond to the world, rooted in a strengths based approach of different styles colliding. Chance and intuitive alchemy play a part and are always fired by a love of being apart of art history. Subject matter is often steeped in classical sculpture and painting and the questions these raise for the contemporary art loving public. Collaboration doesn’t allow work to become static, both embracing the energy in the process of exploring the natural world around them and responding to our living history.
