Marek Cecula-Poland
Eva Zeisel-Hungary
Maxim Velcovsky-Czech Republic
Leave it to those raised under Communism to grow up and become the best Ceramic industrial designers on the planet! These designers/artists have all been revolutionary in their thought provoking designs. Through clever and creative conceptual approach these designers have managed to turn mass produced products into art with a political undertone. Zeisel "the mother of modern design" has managed to prove that you can create objects for daily use that have soul. She has managed to somehow counteract the coldness/masculinity of industry with her fluid, curvy anamorphic designs. Cecula speaks directly to this coldness so much so as to make a political point. Velcovsky is brilliant in his humorous critique of products and culture. All three are clearly genious visionaries always one step ahead of everyone else...always pushing ceramics just a little bit further into the future because they seem to have a grasp on those aspects that are timeless.
