Kazuko Matthews Post Modern Ceramic Teapot, California, 1980's

About the Item

Kazuko Matthews Post Modern Ceramic Teapot, California, 1980's. Kazuko Kayasuga Matthews was born Southern California and was raised in Japan. After she returned to the United States, she attended Mt. San Antonio College, and Chouinard Art Institute, where she studied with Otto and Vivika Heino. Following a career in graphics, she chose to devote all her time to ceramics, attending Santa Monica College and Scripps College, where she was a student of Paul Soldner. ARTIST'S STATEMENT My Japanese heritage and sensitivity is definitely an important foundation of my work, especially in the beginning of my career. Today, having lived in the United States for more than half of my life, there is a broader fusion of the two cultures in myself as an artist. America with its vast space and carefree environment has given me the sense of unbounded freedom to explore and play. Certain things or events, whether experienced fleetingly or in a small way, bring me joy and excitement. The process of interpreting these feelings becomes exploration for new expression. Each new work presents a chance to create new expression, new annotation, new phrase. The way I juxtapose patterns, and the way I play with the dimensions and the space, are all part of my explorative process. - Reference: Kazuko Matthews website.

Pino Castagna Italian 1980s Post Modern Art Pottery Bowl
By Pino Castagna
Located in New York, NY
A great Italian Post Modern art pottery bowl by noted artist , Pino Castagna . Signed. Biography: Pino Castagna was born in Castelgomberto, Italy, in 1932, and studied in the schools of fine arts of Verona and Venice. Together with Scottish sculptor Michael Noble and his wife, Ida Borleti, from 1957 and 1963 he designed a creative skill stimulation programme for the mental patients of the Verona psychiatric hospital, as well as directed a ceramics school and workshop in Garda. His growing interest in sculpture was encouraged by frequent visits to Paris and Milan. In 1969, he moved his workshop to Costermano del Garda, Italy, where he currently lives and works. Since then, Castagna’s work has been characterised by constant experimentation with new techniques and materials as diverse as ceramics, aluminium, stone, wood, concrete, strings or tree branches. Each of these offers a new and original expressive possibility, which the artist explores by testing the materials’ plastic potential and pushing their endurance limits. In addition to his practice as sculptor, Castagna’s oeuvre encompasses painting and design, as well as public art, fully revealing the architectural and environmental vocation of his work. Remarkable examples of this vocation may be found in Cespo veneziano [Venetian Basket...
