About the Item

Although this whimsical sculpture by Allan Winkler has the look of outsider art, this ceramic work stems from the art school-trained artist’s interest in the Chicago Imagists. This group of artists added an urban twist to their surreal works by incorporating snippets of popular culture, naïve art, and the gritty detritus of city life. Winkler revels in his imagination with this fanciful series of ceramic figures, celebrating diversity and depicting the everyday with an unexpected twist. Winkler plays with proportion and gesture to explore the uncanny and represent life in a way that amuses and delights.

  • Meditation bowl inspired by a conch shell
    By Alice Ballard
    Located in Kansas City, MO
    Title : Meditation bowl inspired by a conch shell Materials : white earthenware, terra sigillata, oxides, liner glaze Date : 2017 Dimensions : 5 x 8 x 9 inches Description : Pinched form inspired by a conch shell. Greenish liner glaze with darker pool of color due to multiple layered firings. Outside whitish with soft muted colors Alice Ballard - Artist Statement My art is a reflection of my relationship with natural forms. These forms come to me on walks, while I work in my garden, or appear as gifts from friends who share my fascination with the beauty inherent in Nature’s abundant variety of forms. It is often the metamorphosis of nature’s forms, as they change from season to season, that attracts me. I am endlessly drawn to that universal world in which differing life forms share similar qualities. I spend countless hours contemplating a particular form in order to feel its energy. It becomes a Zen-like connection not unlike a meditation. As an artist, I hope that those who choose to connect with my work can share some of the harmony and tranquility I feel through the creative process. Perhaps, at the very least, the viewer will give those small, often unnoticed forms in Nature a second glance. Alice R. Ballard. (born June 16, 1945, Florence, South Carolina) is an American ceramicist based in Greenville, South Carolina. Much of her work is characterized by the organic earthenware forms of closed containers...
