FIRE WORKS : Contemporary ceramic art

4 Nov-23 Dec 2016

Overview

This exhibition includes the work of contemporary artists who embrace the human scale and surreal tradition of figurative ceramics. The mimetic value of ceramics - their ability to reference tools, anthropomorphic or biomorphic forms that often transcend their direct purpose – is here declined in a subversive and cartoonish way by objects that are too inept to carry on any function. The works in the show, both melancholic and amusing, are like characters of a forgotten story whose new plot threads are entirely up to the imagination of the viewer.
