The post Julia Pilipchatina Creates Intriguing Insect Art on Plates appeared first on Wallpaper Data.
]]>It isn’t unusual to see insect-inspired art on ceramics, but Pilipchatina’s does it is really special. She opts for large illustrations that stretch across the entire length of the plate. She also depicts the bugs in an amazingly detailed way while introducing exotic colors to adorn their wings, antennas, and legs.
According to Pilipchatina, her fascination with insect-inspired art started with watercolor drawings. She decided to transfer them to ceramics, being intrigued by the role that plates have in the traditions of various cultures.
“By choosing a unique plate for ourselves, we draw upon our own values, and—I hope—these objects remain in our families as a testament to the lives of past generations,” Pilipchatina told Colossal in a recent interview.
If you like Pilipchatina’s plates, you will be happy to hear that the artist has an Etsy shop through with she makes her ceramics available for purchase. She also regularly shares her newest work on social media. Continue scrolling to check out few more below.

]]>The post Ariana Heinzman Creates Colorful and Quirky Clay Vessels appeared first on Wallpaper Data.
]]>A big reason why Heinzman’s clay vessels are so great is that the artist doesn’t strive for perfection according to her own admittance. She allows her intuition to take the driver’s seat during the process of creating a piece, resulting in one-of-a-kind creations.
Describing her work, Heinzman says it’s meant to “represent the duality of the desire to escape and succumb to nature and the desire to control nature and to be drawn into human civilization.” Her designs are based on the imagery found in nature and borrow patterns from leaves, flowers, and fruit. This is why it isn’t surprising that colors play an important part in the artist’s creative process.
“I use vibrant colors like a bird of paradise would, or perhaps a flower, or a juicy fruit; as an invitation to pick up what I am putting down, to cross-pollinate, to take a bite, etc.,” she explains.

]]>According to his website, Kupferschmidt is interested in “exploring unique approaches decorative and functional ceramics through design, color and glaze experimentation.”
Aside from working on his original pieces, Kupferschmidt is no stranger to collaborations with other artists. For example, he recently teamed up with San Francisco-based artist Calvin Wong to create vessels that combine their styles. Wong contributed with signature facial expressions on ceramics, while Kupferschmidt added the “melting” effect.
His collaboration with fellow ceramic artist Faye Hadfield has also been a complete success. Hadfield created demon-like vessels that Kupferschmidt made even scarier with his special glaze.
Philip Kupferschmidt shares his newest works and collaborations on his social media. He also runs a webshop on his website that allows people to buy his works.

]]>Structural in nature, Álvarez’s pieces have been shown at galleries, stores, and international museums such as the Pompidou in Paris, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Luxembourg or the Reina Sofía in Madrid, amongst others. They’re also sold in more than 20 countries over five continents.
With a background in fashion and graphic design, Julieta Álvarez says she fell in love with ceramics after taking a course with Resu Labrador. “I’m in love with ceramic because is a material that allows almost everything,” she shared with Cup of Couple. “You can experiment with it, try new things, learn, make jewelry, sculptures or just disconnect from the world and lose track of time.”
She recalls being mesmerized with ceramics when she was just a child. “When I was a kid I played a bit with ceramic, my dad is pretty good molding and he used to bring pottery lumps home.”
Her designs nowadays rely on shapes and dramatic contrasts. “I’m so interested in contrasts,” she says. “When you look at nature you can find geometric shapes, symmetries and repeated patterns following a mathematical behavior, but at the same time, you find chaos, disorder, poetry, and shapes without any coherence.”
Such “organized chaos” is to be expected when scrolling through the sisters’ collections.

]]>Segawa made a name for himself by creating miniature pieces that in no way, shape, or form deteriorate from full-size pieces. This talented ceramicist is able to get all the details right and make an appealing structure while working on bits that can fit on one’s palm.
According to Segawa, he aims to explore the relationship between the artists and their works.
“Miniature pottery relates to the issue of the relationship between artists’ bodies and their works. It is a challenge to test the limits of what a human body can make on such a small scale,” he says on his official website.
Check out some of his works below.

]]>
#ceramics #botzglazesIt sort of took off from there. While her studies at KASK School of Arts in Ghent, Belgium, certainly propelled her interest in ceramic art, Daneels actually learned the ins and outs of the trade through YouTube tutorials. But she admits that the passion for ceramics sparked much earlier than that, while watching her grandmother make porcelain dolls. “I’ve seen her making them since I was born,” she says. “I was always fascinated when I entered her workspace and saw all the porcelain heads, bodies and her huge collection of old fabrics.”
Rather than making dolls, Daneels’ ceramic sculptures take after everyday objects, turning them into coveted items that should be admired rather than tossed aside. These objects, though common, carry a special meaning to Daneels. “I made a selection of objects that play an important role in my memories and my personal life story,” she says. “By being the archaeologist of my own memories, I tried to bring the memories back to life in ceramic sculptures. The work brings up a memory-game of associations and stories.”
Take a look at some of her thought-provoking creations.

]]>The post Tracey Meek’s Quirky Ceramic Creations appeared first on Wallpaper Data.
]]>Things started taking shape when a group of her friends formed an art collective. “It was never a serious thing, just a bunch of creative nuts throwing ideas about and drinking red wine,” admits Meek. “Somehow we managed to get hold of this lovely, crumbling four-story building and spent a good few months in it, larking about and just being free and creative. It was a beautiful time.” It also encouraged her to take the required leap of faith and become a fully fleshed artist (“I decided I’m never going to be a 9-5 person,” she jokes).
Based in Derby, England, Meek’s work has been exhibited throughout the UK. She’s especially known for her ceramic figurines and tiny, wonky, people, that take many shapes and forms. But she admits that being an artist means learning from trial and (much) error. “At any given time, its’ really about continually bettering myself as an artist, and as a person,” she says. “Some people learn academically, others through social activity and experience. I’m definitely the latter.”

]]>“I feel like everything I end up making in some way ties back to my past,” said the Texas-based ceramic artist in an interview with Analog Watch Co.’s blog. “I often find myself thinking about objects I loved growing up and try to give them new life and context.”
“I grew up in a very creativity focused household,” he went on to say. “My dad was always at a drafting board and my mom did a lot of drawing and glasswork. To me, art was just natural, and the more and more I worked at it the more it became an integral part of my life and my identity.”
Influenced by simplistic geometry contrasted by fluid motion, his objects confound and delight. Something to buy that hipster friend of yours whose seemingly unimpressed.

One of her more outlandish creations is a ceramic shark head, which is made to hang on your wall. “I feel that sharks are misunderstood, even by me,” says Stern. “I am not a shark expert, but I am interested in how our fear can play a role in how we treat things that scare us. By making the sharks in bright colors, and with goofy expressions invited you to see sharks up close with a new perspective.”
Indeed, Stern doesn’t shy away from frightening subjects like predatory animals or even death (one series of sculptures is based around seemingly friendly ghosts). Those are explored through humoristic (sometimes goofy) lenses. “As someone who is afraid of a lot of stuff, I feel that it is an interesting challenge to bring scary subjects into a positive light,” she says.
Take a look for yourself.

]]>The post Katie Kimmel’s Ceramic Art Is Good, Clean Fun appeared first on Wallpaper Data.
]]>“A lot of the mediums that I work with are associated with kid crafts, and it could be that I only feel that way because they are mediums I’ve been using since I was a kid,” said Kimmel in an interview with Consort Design. “Sometimes I’ll really start to think about my work and I’m like, ‘Ok, I’m not an artist, I’m a 10-year-old living in an apartment’. Other times I’m like, ‘I AM an artist and my soul is 7 feet tall.’ I think that is a weird insecurity a lot of artists have – so maybe I became an artist when I started feeling that way.”
Since receiving her BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2015 where she studied ceramics, video, and painting, she’s been working from her studio in the Mojave Desert, California. Over the years, her style has remained fairly unchanged, but her craftsmanship has improved, and so has her sense of direction.
In other words: more fun is coming your way!
