Description
No longer considered merely decorative, ceramic art has broken free from the dusty display cases to which it was once relegated and is now taking centre stage in contemporary galleries.
Although often integrating traditional modelling, firing and glazing techniques into their output, the 90 artists featured here invite us to look at ceramics in a different way. Whether creating monumental installations or intricate miniatures, imaginary beasts or life-size human figures, they subtly blur the borders between art and craft. Sometimes conceiving witty or unnerving twists on traditional ceramic forms, and sometimes using cutting-edge technology, conceptual thinking and new platforms to push the boundaries of clay and broaden its appeal.
Packed with works that are questioning and provocative, disturbing and seductive, Contemporary Ceramic Art offers an exciting overview of a booming field.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
The Herald praises the book for showcasing the versatility and freshness of ceramic artists, proving there is more to ceramics than familiar names like Grayson Perry. World of Interiors describes it as a who's who of artists working in witty and subversive ways with the medium.
