Gio Schiano is a contemporary Italian designer who was born in Naples, Italy in 1976. He is a well-known high fashion photographer as well as a painter, sculptor and designer. Schiano studied graphic design and photography and has always retained a passion for creating fine art. With a comprehensive artistic and technical skill set, Schiano is fully immersed in art world in a multi-faceted fashion. Schiano's work is draws heavily on inspiration from the rich tradition of art and design that exists in Italian culture. Schiano's paintings take inspiration from traditional Italian religious imagery but the images are distorted giving the traditional imagery a new modern twist. Schiano's sculpture and design is particularly inspired by Ettore Sottsass the founder of the Memphis Group design movement that was active in the '80s. Known for colorful and vibrant design with a good dose of whimsy, the Memphis group has become synonymous with innovation in design. The influence of the Memphis Group as well as the Pop Art movement is clear in Schiano's pieces.

  • John Glick Plum Street Pottery Glazed Bowl Reduction Fired
    Located in Detroit, MI
    "Untitled" is a stoneware piece with the decorative layer of the rich toned glazes and markings that John was so well-known for. Each piece that John produced was unique. The lip on this piece is slightly scalloped and the shape is removed from the boring circular to mimic a gentle geometric design. He was seduced by the effects of the reduction kiln, which decreased the levels of oxygen during firing, inducing the flame to pull oxygen out of the clay and glazes changing the colors of the glazes depending on their iron and copper content. In this way he achieved the rich gradients of ochre and umber and variations in stippling and opacity. This piece is signed and stamped on the bottom. John was an American Abstract Expressionist ceramicist born in Detroit, MI. Though open to artistic experimentation, Glick was most influenced by the styles and aesthetics of Asian pottery—an inspiration that shows in his use of decorative patterns and glaze choices. He has said that he is attracted to simplicity, as well as complexity: my work continually reflects my re-examination that these two poles can coexist… or not, in a given series. Glick also took influences from master potters of Japan, notably Shoji Hamada and Kanjrio Kawai, blending their gestural embellishments of simple forms with attitudes of Abstract Expressionism. He was particularly drown to the work of Helen Frankenthaler whose soak-stain style resonated with Glick’s multi-layered glaze surfaces, which juxtaposed veils of atmospheric color with gestural marks and pattern. He spent countless hours developing and making his own tools in order to achieve previously unseen results in his work with clay and glaze. Glick’s “Plum Tree Pottery...
