About the Item

Gus by artist Brandon Reese is a contemporary designed white and brown in color hoop sculpture made with ceramic and salt-glazed stoneware on a birch base. It measures 85 x 23 and is priced at $19,000. *Detail images upon request* Brandon Reese’s focus on experimentation and varying techniques relates to his belief that the best part of life is the process, “My art wears the fingerprints, cuts, dents and other texturing as a roadmap and documentation of its creation.” He works primarily with stoneware and porcelain. Reese’s most recent pieces combine salt-glazed stoneware and reclaimed native wood. His work is predominately known for its simple, familiar forms created in a variety of methods and at such large scales that the pieces push the traditional boundaries of ceramic art.
