About the Item

This is a set of two handmade ceramic mugs with multicolored paint splatter by veteran Memphis artist Peter Shire. They are hand-painted, so no two are the same. At the base, each mug reads EXP 2018 in stamped relief text. Peter Shire is an LA-based artist whose work eludes all attempts at categorization. He has created ceramics, furniture, toys, interior designs, and public sculptures that seem to at once reference and parody influences such as Bauhaus, Futurism, Art Nouveau, and Art Deco. This subversive humor and playfulness extend throughout his work and made him a natural fit for the controversial and iconic Milan-based Memphis design group, of which he was a founding member.
