Ernest Patris
Ernest Patris was a Belgian expressionist painter, ceramist and sculptor of busts, portraits, heads, figures and monuments. Originally working as a cartoonist and modeler, he began working with clay as a hobby. Patris then enrolled at the Gilly Vocational School to learn how to work with bronze and at the Ghent Academy to study anatomy. Encouraged and mentored by James Ensor, an important Belgian expressionist and surrealist painter of the time, the young Patris devoted himself entirely to sculpture. Later in life, he established a ceramic workshop, then started a bronze foundry, after which he operated a gallery and continued to do public commissions until he died in 1981.
