Michael Gustavson
Cold Stone ceramic indoor/outdoor sculpture

2020

About the Item

California sculptor Michael Gustavson's "Cold Stone" is a rather minimal sculpture made from hand-built ceramic and glazed in a beautiful range of greens, earth tones and blues. It can be placed indoors for a unique decorative accent, and the ceramic is suitable for outdoor placement in temperate climates. 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.
