SHOZO MICHIKAWA 6-28 November Erskine, Hall & Coe is pleased to present a new exhibition by esteemed artist Shozo Michikawa comprising of 40 new works, demonstrating his ingenuity, dexterity and mastery of clay. The exhibition will be installed by Shozo Michikawa, and will include an Ikebana arrangement that will be composed by Ikebana master, Koho Wada. - - - Each one of these pots is a marriage of the material worked by Shozo Michikawa, and then shaped, coloured, twisted, sliced and pierced. Some have height and others stay earthborn. Some are touching, carrying an emotion, or attracting the hand and eye, and so asking to be lifted and closely viewed. Here time present and time past, have come together. An inheritance is clear, but so is freshness of the new. The East has come to the West – a  most serendipitous union. Nature is the source of Michikawa’s pots. As is natural he takes what is at hand, reworks it and creates a new generation. On show, are the children and grandchildren of his previous works. Here is the familiar, enlivened by his fresh inventions, his dancing wit and his deep reverence for the past. The colours, warmth-in-tone, seem placed without serious premeditation. And yet we know, they are as the potter decreed, subject always to nature herself. Michikawa claims little credit for himself. He finds inspiration without searching, as surely as the sun rises.

SARA FLYNN BY SEBASTIAN BLACKIE

How artists locate themselves within a wider community of practice may bring insight to their inspiration as well as some of the imperatives that sustain them.  Sara Flynn belongs to a generation of Irish ceramic artists who are confidently engaging with an international audience and whose work stylistically is far removed from the rustic traditional crafts, which are often closely associated with tourism and in Ireland are charged with a particularly powerful cultural/national identity.  It is then surprising to learn that Flynn is not from the city but works in picturesque rural isolation on the very western edge of Europe.   As many Irish have done she looks westward to the future, her work and life style being a measure of how heterogeneous craft practice has become.  Her pots are not emblematic of a rural idyll nor in any conscious way are they influenced by the visual landscape in which she works.  There is however a relationship between Flynn’s vessels and the place she chooses to make them.  It is not a topographical relationship but the quality of solitude that supports focused reflection so necessary for some kinds of art practice.

Flynn’s work reveals some of the characteristics of Hans Coper’s work; a potter she has greatly admired throughout her ceramic career.  There is an obsessive passion for clay’s unique qualities, a sustaining fascination with the “thingness” of vessels as abstract forms largely unrelated to utilitarian pots which serve our bodily needs.  Coper’s famous thought that he was: ”like a demented piano tuner seeking the perfect pitch” is an appropriate way to understand Flynn’s practice relaying as it does on just a few key element.

All Flynn’s work is thrown porcelain.  With modernist concerns such as truth to material and process we are used to ‘read’ how things are made.  We are familiar with the ‘vocabulary’ of construction with resistant materials and reductive processes such as carving or the results of casting with liquids.  But the use of plastic or viscous material with its shifting identity is encountered less often in our daily lives and the aesthetics of displacement seem more mysterious, Flynn’s exploration of form is not confined by the wheel but develops often asymmetrically from the rhythms of throwing, the line of the rim often being particularly important.   The soft clay forms are squeezed, indented or pinched to enhance fluidity and establish an individual identity.  Flynn’s creativity is focused in the act of working with plastic clay; any subsequent work is at its service.

Yasuhisa Kohyama

In occasione dell'uscita di un libro dedicato al maestro Yasuhisa Kohyama, "Yasuhisa Kohyama The Art of Ceramics", curato da Susan Jefferies, Michael R. Cunningham, Yoshiaki Inui, Jack Lenor Larsen, la Erskin, Hall & Coe dedica una mostra a questo grandissimo ceramista.

Usando le tecniche tradizionali della cottura a fuoco tipica della sua città, è stato un precursore nell'uso del forno Anagama. Il suo forno è stato il primo della zona ad essere costruito dall'epoca medioevale.
I suoi lavori dalle linee forti e le superfici mutanti come il granito, affascinano per perfezione e naturalezza.
Il catalogo è scaricabile !!! E' bellissimo 

An exhibition of new work of master Yasuhisa Kohyama to coincide with the publication of 'Yasuhisa Kohyama : The Art of Ceramics' is opening on the 13th at Erskine, Hall & Coe,  London

authors:Susan Jefferies, Michael R.Cunningham, Yoshiaki Inui and Jack Lenor Larsen
publisher, ARNOLDSCHE

"The traditional wood-firing techniques of historical potters from his native Shigaraki, are evident in the work of Yasuhisa Kohyama. He has played an important part in reviving the use of the traditional Japanese "Anagama" wood fired kiln, being the first potter in the area to build such a kiln since medieval times.
Kohyama's powerful and sculptural work has been exhibited widely in Japan and overseas including at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and the Musée National de Ceramique Sèvres, France."( via Galerie Besson)

Catalogue is available for download ! Thanks Erskine, Hall & Coe

Gustavo Perez @ Erskine Hall & Coe

Certo i blogger della moda sono ormai delle star, ma anche noi esseri molto meno trendy abbiamo le nostre piccole soddisfazioni. Per esempio, nei giorni scorsi  mi è arrivato per posta il catalogo della nuova mostra di Gustavo Perez alla Erskine Hall & Coe di Londra. E' bello quando viene riconosciuto il tuo lavoro anche se non appartieni a nessun "gruppo", grazie !
Ora a noi:

Gustavo Pérez è un ceramista messicano che crea vasi dalle strutture semplici ed eleganti, spesso lambite da tagli superficiali che lasciano intravedere uno strato più profondo. In continua evoluzione, il suo lavoro mantiene il carattere essenziale che lo contraddistingue la pulizia delle line e la precisione della forma.
In questa nuova mostra vedo tanto Miró

Thanks to the lovely people at  Erskine Hall & Coe I can admire Gustavo Perez's new works without taking a plane. Well it's not exactly the same thing, but has the added value of great gift . Thanks !!


Gustavo Pérez is mexican ceramist that makes vessels that are simple and elegant, often incised by precised lines that reveal an underneath layer. His work is constantly evolving though remaining faithful to the cleanness and smoothness of  the forms. I see a lot of Miró

GUSTAVO PÉREZ

14 March - 5 April
"In the eleven years since Gustavo Pérez ‘s work last graced a London gallery his voice has become more distinctive, the use of colour more exciting, his love of music more evident in his work. These new pots retain his great sense of precision and skill, yet with an increased sense of rhythm, tension and muscularity. There is a willingness to take risks."
