Happy Holidays
Dear Friends of ART AUREA,
As 2011 nears its end, we wish you very happy holidays. And for the New Year, we wish you:
– Health, without which all is nothing;
– Equanimity, to rise blithely above pessimistic news and scenarios of crises;
– Optimism, to keep believing in a better world, despite every catastrophe;
– Patience, to work toward your goals with perseverance and without haste;
– Ideas, to spark enthusiasm in your customers and in us;
– Energy, to create lastingly high-quality artifacts that stem the tide of cheap and worthless objects;
– Moments, to pause inwardly and experience harmony with yourself and the world; and
– Time, to make whatever else is important to you that we haven’t mentioned here.
Yours truly,
The ART AUREA Team

Grégoire Scalabre
Astrée from Grégoire Scalabre on Vimeo. Astrée è opera del ceramista francese Gregoire Scalabre. Prende il nome da un mitico galeone della Compagnia delle Indie Orientali naufragato con un prestigioso carico di porcellana. Scalabre immagina che questa porcellana dopo un secolo di vita marina si sia trasformata in una colonia di originali forme e colori. L'opera è composta da più 10.000 miniature create al tornio e smaltate in un incredibile gamma di colori provenienti dalla manifattura di Sèvres.
Astrée is an incredible piece by french ceramist Gregoire Scalabre, the piece is created in honor of a famous galleon of the East India Company wrecked with a mythical shipment of porcelain. Scalabre imagines that after all this time, these precious pieces have developed an original civilization of shapes and colors.
Over 10,000 miniatures, patiently thrown one by one by Gregory Scalabre are glazed in shades of incredible colours from Sevres looks like marine inflorescence, all different, like living beings.
Groupe show, Galerie NeC nilsson et Chiglien, Paris. Exposition du 3 décembre 2011 au 14 janvier 2012.

Makiko Nakamura CV's 5
CV: 5 Parole che descrivano le tue opere
MN: Decorative, delicate, poetiche, narrative, lucide
CV: Che aspetto della tua personalità ti è più utile nel tuo lavoro?
MN: Passione, ottimismo, e amore per la ceramica
CV: Qual'e il tuo pezzo in ceramica preferito?
MN: le figurine del '700 di Meissen. Quando le guardo, sono sempre strabiliata. La combinazione tra le abiltà dei vecchi ceramisti, l'apparenza sofisticata e un po' di humor li rende veramente preziosi.CV: Da cosa trai ispirazione?
MN: Le fiabe, i mercatini, gli antiquari, le chiacchere con amici di diverse provenienze, la meditazione e il mio albero segreto a Hyde Park.
CV: Se potessi scegliere dove vivere/lavorare nel mondo, dove andresti?
MN: LONDRA LONDRA LONDRA ! Quetsa città mi ha dato molte cose: grandi amici, lo studio, le oppurtinità di lavoro, l'ispirazione ecc...IO AMO LONDRA per la diversità culturale, per il contrasto tra tradizione e innovazione. Vivere e lavorare a Londra mi ispira e mi elettrizza, ma il problema è la stagione invernale. Idealmente vivrei in un'isole tropicale con fiori tropicali, un bellissimo mare e un sole splendente durante l'inverno...e a Londra il resto del tempo.
CV: Il tuo migliore e il peggiore momento ceramico
MN: Il peggiore è quando sto combattendo con un nuovo lavoro e una nuova idea. Mi sento uno schifo.
Il momento migliore è quando visualizzo quello che voglio creare in ceramica, e quando apro il forno e i pezzi sono venuti bene, non sono religiosa, ma nei mei momenti migliori, apprezzo sempre il "dio della Ceramica".
Makiko ha in programma una mostra il 14 di Giugno 2012 alla ICN gallery di Londra e partecipa ad un negozio pop up alla Somerset House

CV: Five words that describe your work
MN: Decorative, delicate, poetic, narrative, shiny
CV: What aspect of your personality is more useful in your practice?
MN:
passion, optimism,and love for the ceramics
CV: What is your favourite ceramic piece of all times ?
MN: eighteenth centuries MEISSEN'S figurines.
When I look at them, I am always always amazed.
The combination of ancient potters' great skills, sophisticated appearance and little bit of humor makes them really precious.
CV: Where do you get your inspiration from?
MN: Fairy tales, flea market, Antique shop, chat with friends who have different back ground, meditation, and my secret and favourite tree in Hyde park.
CV: If you could choose where to live/work in the world, where would you go?
MN: LONDON LONDON LONDON! This city gave me a lot of things: great friends, education, business opportunity, inspiration etc etc...
I LOVE LONDON for its cultural diversity, contrast between tradition and innovation.
Living and Working in London is so inspiring and thrilling(in good way).
but the problem is... winter season. Ideally live in tropical island with tropical flower, beautiful sea and bright sunshine during winter time and live in London rest of time.
CV: Your worst and your best ceramic moment
MN: worst moment is when i am struggling with new works with new concept. I feel like I am rubbish.
The best moment is the moment I can visualize what I wanted to create by ceramics.
and when I open the kiln and find the pieces are fired nicely.
I am not religious person, but in my best ceramic moment, I always appreciate to the 'God of Ceramics'.
