Patrick Amiot
Patrick Amiot is a sculptor originally from Montreal, now based in Sebastopol, California, known for his whimsical and larger-than-life junk-art creations. His work combines urban folk art with a playful, colorful approach, often transforming discarded objects—such as hubcaps, water heaters, and other found materials—into vibrant, character-filled sculptures. Amiot’s pieces, which include everything from oversized fishermen and quirky cars to animals and street scenes, reflect his deep respect for the materials he works with, each piece embodying a sense of history and life that he believes is embedded in the objects he salvages. His wife, Brigitte Laurent, plays a crucial role in the process, bringing the sculptures to life with her meticulous brushwork and a lively, sophisticated sense of color.
Amiot’s art has become a defining feature of Sebastopol, where his sculptures are displayed throughout the town and at his studio. What began as a personal, experimental project making sculptures for fun soon became a beloved community tradition. Over the years, Amiot’s work has not only contributed to the local landscape but has also raised significant funds for community schools through the sale of calendars featuring his sculptures. His approach to art—transforming the everyday and overlooked into something spectacular—has garnered both local and international attention, cementing him as a prominent figure in the world of urban folk art. With plans to expand his studio and create a public sculpture garden, Amiot remains committed to creating bold, imaginative art that celebrates the stories and history within the materials he uses.
