ca 1990

About the Item

"A Cup and It's Shadow" by Lithuanian-American sculptor and ceramist Rimas VisGirda is a whimsical take on a cup on a plate that blurs the line between pottery and sculpture. The stoneware is glazed and lustered and was created at the Lakeside Studio. Rimas VisGirda began his academic career in science, earning a degree in physics from California State University at Sacramento. He later received a Master of Arts in Art degree from the same university, and completed a Master of Fine Arts in ceramics and sculpture at Washington State University. He has exhibited his work, given workshops in ceramics, and lectured internationally. He is represented in over 30 public as well as numerous private collections. His work is pictured in many books on ceramics as well as periodicals in the field. He has taught at colleges and universities on the west coast and in the Midwest since 1973. The artist cites as his influences the California underground cartoonists such as Robert Crumb and S. Clay Wilson and the British punk movement. Please note two very small chips on the plate's surface enamel (see last picture).

Porcelain allows me stretch and shape the clay in any way I choose and offers a blank canvas for my floral imagery and luscious, rich glazes to blend.

I use bands around the form to constrict specific areas of each piece, while at the same time creating space for the volume and fullness to escape. The bands create registers to frame my drawings and paintings of floral imagery. The way I combine surface and form is inspired by Ming Dynasty porcelain...
