Ron Carlson
Ceramic Pop Art Clown Face Espresso Cup

About the Item

This is a one of a kind original cup made by southern California artist, Ron Carlson. Its dimensions are 2.5 x 3 in (L x H). A certificate of authenticity will follow delivery. Lead free; hand washing highly recommended. Safe for microwave use unless there are shiny metallic lustres on the piece. As a sculptor, Carlson is focused on investigating his own relationship to the materials. He explains, “the primary purpose of my work is the process itself, a self-indulgent interaction with the materials, ideas, and techniques. The work that involves imagery is a combination of symbols, subliminal observations that often reflect the contemporary human condition or just illustrates my life and experiences.” Many of his porcelain works are usable as functional vessels. He notes, “my ceramic work is an investigation into the sculptural dynamics of the vessel form,” thereby challenging the notion of a ‘formal sculpture.’ The playfulness of Carlson’s work invites the viewer to physically pick up his pieces, open them up, and explore their own relationship with art, and what art can be.

  • 'Art Column (ART DBG)' original signed ceramic sculpture toy blocks pop art
    Located in Milwaukee, WI
    Art Column (ART DBG)' is an original signed ceramic sculpture by Robin Campo. It is a rare and early example of the artist's fanciful work, made only a year after he earned his Master of Arts from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and while he was developing his reputation through local galleries. Campo is here working in the later traditions of pop art by using the ceramic medium for trompe l'oeil effect: the sculpture is made to look like an oversize stack of toy wood...
