Munkácsy Mihály Prize-winning Hungarian ceramicist, worthy artist, and daughter of Géza Gorka, Gorka Lívia is one of the most renowned Hungarian ceramists. Her present work is a highly distinctive piece even if measured against her own exceptional repertoire. In 1947, Lívia Gorka passed her master's exam in pottery. Her master was his father, Géza Gorka. As an independent, self-employed artist, se worked in the Gorka workshop in Verőce until 1959, and had created in her own studio after that. The source of her art has always been nature, and as such, her typical objects (if we can discuss typical at all in her case) are large, asymmetrical vessels, idols, fish, birds, and stones. Gorka preferred creating unique objects and to think in series and groups of objects. She worked with high-fired, custom-made materials such as stone, oxide clay glazes, and often combined clay with metal. The colours of her works have a strong plastic effect and are generally quite restrained. This handmade piece reflects her minimalistic and timeless language of forms that appears in every inch of this bowl that is in the field between art, design, and handicraft. The colours are spectacular, the black glazed outside harbours a medley of shapes and colours on the inside. This glazed, geometrically decorated piece has an unusual, modern shape with a hollow opening on top. The bright orange line traces the shape to the hollow opening towards the top and articulates the unusual angle at which the bowl stands. Lívia Gorka was able to step out of her father's shadow and create her own style with her ceramics. A true artist who always worked with craft techniques, she also developed her own technique for making the glaze, so her works, like this bowl, always represent a recognizable, unique world of shapes and colours. Gorka was a master of these subtleties that established her one-of-a-kind visual language that is still coveted not just in her native Hungary, but all around the world among ceramic enthusiasts and collectors. Thanks to this, it can easily be placed in both a vintage or contemporary interior and is sure to stand out from its surroundings.
