James Lovera
About the Item
Deep red glaze art bowl by Bay Area artist James Lovera (1920-2015), he was known for his thin walled vessels and bowls with dramatic glazes, this piece those marks. James Lovera’s fascination with the bowl form led him to produce a large focused body of work. He used porcelain to throw his perfect paper thin walled pieces that flare out from a tiny ring foot.
The types of glazes he used are direct opposites although both reference the natural world he saw around him.
They can range from the textural crater glazes for which he is perhaps most well-known to glossy Asian inspired glazes in vivid colors.
Early on he spent time with Margurete Wildenhain at Pond Farm, California. Lovera credits Wildenhain's work ethic as an important influence on his studio practice.
