Arthur Gonzalez
Viola Frey
Gerit Grimm
These contemporary Ceramic sculptors all inspire me for their ability to create figures that reside in a world totally of their own imagination. It's not easy to speak in ones own voice...to gives substance to the visions and the dreams you have. To capture the emotion of a moment or a place. Human and idealistic. The colors of Grimm and Frey are cheerful but there is also a sassyness. Parody, social satire, dark humor. they use multiple figures and clay made props to put you inside of this world. The rough and loose style of all these artists to me conveys much more emotion and individual expression than had these been sculpted in a tight and anatomically correct way.
