Suzuki Goro Sculptures

Japanese, b. 1941
Revered Japanese ceramic master Goro Suzuki has had a long, successful career, beginning as a production potter and continuing to today. He trained in traditional Japanese pottery techniques, and his inspiration is rooted in the traditional styles, particularly the Mino traditions of the Momoyama Period and the Edo Period. He is particularly known for his work in the Oribe style which features simple geometric designs and a dark green copper glaze with white slip. Rather than following the old style strictly, however, he employs non-traditional designs, fanciful brushwork, and brings a fresh and often humorous approach to his ware. In addition to being a studio artist Suzuki has traveled widely and served as a Visiting Scholar at both Cranbrook Academy of Art and Rhode Island School of Art and Design. From his travels he incorporates the ceramic styles of other cultures into his own work, further enriching his contribution to Japanese ceramic tradition. Goro Suzuki’s work is widely collected both in Japan and throughout the world and is included in the collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Marer Collection, Scripps College, in the United States; the Seto-city Culture Center and the Meito Art Museum in Japan; and the Hetsens Museum in Germany among others. He has been the recipient of a number of awards including the Japan Ceramic Society Prize in 2001. “I live and work in the Oribe tradition and in the traditional area of old Oribe, but I rebel against my strict training in traditional ceramics.”- Suzuki Goro

John Glick Plum Street Pottery Reduction Fired Shino Glaze Cup Published in Book

By John Glick 1

Located in Detroit, MI

“Untitled” ceramic, is an example of the kind of work by which John Glick became so famous. 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 on the bottom and can be found on page 92, plate #125 in “John Glick: A Legacy in Clay.” 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...
