Chloe Farrant is a multidisciplinary artist whose work centres on fragility, survival and belonging.
Chloe Farrant is a contemporary artist whose work is inspired by wildlife, nature and the relationships that connect us to the living world.
Working across porcelain, painting and public art, she creates pieces that celebrate resilience, beauty and belonging. Animals appear throughout her work as companions, symbols and storytellers, inviting viewers to pause, look closer and reconnect with the natural world.
Whether creating delicate porcelain sculptures, colourful paintings or large-scale murals, Chloe's practice is rooted in a sense of wonder and a belief that all life is worthy of care, compassion and attention.

Wildness, fragility and repair
My work explores what exists at the edges, between wildness and containment, fragility and endurance.
Animals and blooms appear again and again in my practice. They hold emotional weight for me as they become ways of thinking through survival, presence and care.
Working across porcelain, painting and public space, I am drawn to what persists and how something delicate can still carry strength and resilience.
Material and Transformation
Porcelain begins soft and responsive. It records touch, pressure and time before being transformed by fire into something enduring. I’m interested in that shift - from yielding to resolute.
Gold is introduced not as decoration, but as emphasis. It marks what is precious. It holds attention.
The act of making is slow and meditative. Repetition, layering and firing become a way of stabilising fragile forms without erasing their vulnerability.
On the edge - Stray
Stray occupies the margins of the city, installed on weathered surfaces beyond institutional space.
Temporary and exposed, he operates outside containment, moving through life without a fixed space. He represents those who feel displaced, overlooked or in-between.
Placed in public view, he becomes a quiet companion, offering comfort through recognition.
