Yee Sookyun
Korean artist, YS's artistic practice deep into korean consciousness, uncovering fragments of historical memory that she process into new manifestation of contemporary life.
She did a series of ceramic sculptures known as Thanslated Vessels, 2007, Ceramic shards, epoxy, 24K gold leaf, 24K gold powder.
It is comprised of broken ceramic pieces that have been reimagined into biomorphic "mautant" sculpture. Collecting discarded shards of ceramics from waste piles of present-day Korean ceramicists, each organically-shaped from emerges from a painstaking jigsaw-puzzle process in which the artist instigates new connections between disparate shards.
Andres Basurto
Mexican born artist. Because of the tradition of mosaicked skulls, the mosaic "is believed to represent the god Tezcatlipoca, one of the most important gods in the Mexica pantheod".
The pieces of glass bottles that at one time held wine or beer be reunite together as a skull, you can see it follows different orders as originally words, lines and colours, AB represented "specific shapes that evoke the human skull and skeleton as a container of the soul". Also as a painter and sculptor, AB used a wild range of materials to explore this "soul container" experiences, his idea on the other hand is made of refuse, some of the original bottles were used contain toxic, "...his sculptures represent the essential and primitive human desire to preserve and hold life together with the inutile need to control death, making evident the fragility of our existence."
Tanaka Atsiko
Japanese artist, she was a member of the Japanese Avant-Garde Artistic Performance Group - Gutai, but she was well known as individual after the work "Electric Dress", 1957.
In that time, this dress was a very powerful conflation of the tradition of the Japanese komono with modern industrial technology. She did this work after her group presented a series of dress performances, like a larger than life paper dress that was peeled away layer by layer. Electric dress made by hundreds of light bulbs painted in primary colours lit up along the circulatory and nerve pathways of her body.
Wayne Higby
American artist working in ceramics. He used four years in the making, it is the world's largest porcelain installation, 56-foot-long, 30-foot-high, it installed at the Miller Performing Arts Centre at Alfred University in New York, whole installation consists of 8000 hand-carved porcelain tiles of varing sizes, textures and finishes, nearly 40,000 ponds of porcelain are embedded in the reinforced art centre wall with 16,000 brackets, which WH designed specifically for this project.
Barbara Hashimoto
American artist working with ceramics. She is very good at combine ceramic with books, several solo shows of hers were about this combination. My favorite work from is this "110 pages" 2002, 35 inches in length, low-fired clay, book, encaustic and maple box. The pages were ripped from the binding of a paperback edition of Shakespeare's All's Well that Ends Well, I like the simpleness and the attractive idea, and the maple box is brilliant.
Pekka Paikkari
Finland artist.
Barbro Aberg
Sweden artist, she is inspired by nature and science as well as light which filter through her pieces. Her works have strong sense of architectural integrity in all, she attempts like molecular diagrams, her usual choice of black and white surface treatment gives dramatic constrast and counterpoint.
"A recurrent theme in my work is a kind of search for the universal, my work is not private, of course I am an ingredient in the work. And the intensity of the work process is related in the work. If I wasn't really present, you can tell by the finished work then, it's of less consequence. A good piece has its own language, it's own story, it's alive somehow."
