About the Item
Recycled Ceramic Wall mounted mosaic of Amy Winehouse
By Susan Elliott
Taking inspiration from the cupboards of the nation.
Since moving to St Leonards from London, in 1999 Susan Elliott has combed every second hand shop, car boot sale and charity shop for the sort of seaside tat and domestic crockery that most of us wouldn’t give a second glance. Her studio teeters with piles of tourist mementos, slogan emblazoned mugs and ceramic figurines, in what looks like a chaos of china, but is in fact a carefully archived resource of found materials which are at the heart of her iconic portraits, flags and 3 dimensional works.
Taking her inspiration from popular culture, national identity and lately folklore, Susan uses recycled kitchen crockery and mementos to create multi faceted, jewel- like images which hide a wealth of commentary and humour, in fact for owners of her work the joy is in the detail, in the clash between the kitsch of sugary sentiment and carefully selected and precisely clipped words or a well placed political badge or oddly juxtaposed corporate tag line. Above all Susan’s work is both comfortingly familiar and at the same time completely original.
Susan comments ‘There is a lot going on in my work! My studio is like an archive of the nation’s mantelpieces and an affectionate collection of the kitsch and the idiosyncratic within which I think there is an inherent beauty. People will often spend a long time looking at a piece of my work, discovering familiar objects which come with their own attachments and finding new connections and meanings. I like to take the familiar and place it into a new context by association with other objects or statements’
The end piece of work created is determined in large part by the materials found which often inspire the theme of a subject. Each piece is crammed full of many individual pieces of ceramic from an extensive selection of Susan's compulsively collected treasures.
Susan Elliott lives and works in Hastings, East Sussex. Her work is shown regularly with Mauger Modern in London, The Bowie Gallery in Devon and Bugno Art Gallery in Venice, Italy, and her works are held in private collections in London, Paris, Venice, New York, Tokyo, Toronto, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Hong Kong and Miami.

- Red Grooms Moonstruck Porcelain Sculpture Plate 3D Manhattan NYC CartoonBy Red GroomsLocated in Surfside, FLMoonstruck 1994 3D porcelain ceramic plate. limited edition. Red Grooms (born Charles Rogers Grooms on June 7, 1937) is an American multimedia artist best known for his colorful pop-art constructions depicting frenetic scenes of modern urban life. Grooms was given the nickname "Red" by Dominic Falcone (of Provincetown's Sun Gallery) when he was starting out as a dishwasher at a restaurant in Provincetown and was studying with Hans Hofmann. Grooms was born in Nashville, Tennessee during the middle of the Great Depression. He studied at the Art Institute of Chicago, then at Nashville's Peabody College. In 1956, Grooms moved to New York City, to enroll at the New School for Social Research. A year later, Grooms attended a summer session at the Hans Hofmann School of Fine Arts in Provincetown, Massachusetts. There he met experimental animation pioneer Yvonne Andersen, with whom he collaborated on several short films. Grooms follows in the tradition of William Hogarth and Honoré Daumier, who were canny commentators on the human condition. In 1969, Peter Schjeldahl compared Grooms to Marcel Duchamp, because both embodied "a movement of one man that is open to everybody." In the spring of 1958, Grooms, Yvonne Andersen and Lester Johnson each painted twelve-foot by twelve-foot panels, which they erected with telephone poles on a parking lot adjacent an amusement park in Salisbury, MA. Inspired by artist-run spaces such as New York's Hansa Gallery and Phoenix, and Provincetown's Sun Gallery, Grooms and painter Jay Milder opened the City Gallery in Grooms' second-floor loft in the Flatiron District. When Phoenix refused to show Claes Oldenburg, Grooms and Milder dropped out of Phoenix and City Gallery presented Oldenberg's first New York exhibition, as well as that of Jim Dine. Other artists who showed at City Gallery include Stephen Durkee, Mimi Gross (daughter of Chaim Gross and Red grooms wife), Bob Thompson, Lester Johnson, and Alex Katz. Inspired by George Méliès's 1902 film A Trip to the Moon...Category
