Michael Gustavson
Bird House ceramic water feature

2020

About the Item

"Bird House" is a unique water feature suitable for outdoor installation in temperate climates. Sculptor Michael Gustavson's masterfully detailed and gorgeously textured glazes are applied in a variety of colors, and the design includes abstracted birds. The fountain has delicate water flowing down the dark blue element at the top. Michael Gustavson graduated from San Jose State University with a Master of Fine Arts in 1980. A master in raku ceramic using a wide range of glaze colors and textures, he creates vessels, wall sculptures, and substantial totemic forms to be placed in the garden. All are intricate exercises in the harmony of form, texture, and color. Equally successful as free-form organic sculptures and abstract paintings, the pieces incorporate lusciously textured glazes that perfectly complement the surface quality and shape of his compositions. In his most recent series of powerful tectonic forms created for indoor or outdoor spaces, Gustavson continues to express his painterly textural compositions using his extensive palette of glazes in his California studio. Michael Gustavson's artworks are included in private and public collections throughout the world. Such major corporations as IBM, Kaiser Permanente, Seagate, Cranbrook Museum, and Eastman Kodak own pieces by the artist. Most recently his work has been sold to collectors in London, England and Norway.
