The textures, colours and transformative phenomena of ceramics constitute an arena of extravagant observation for Gareth Mason. His distinct ceramic works are made from clay and include foreign objects, embracing clay’s individuality whilst never ignoring its universality. With the work Meniscus, the artist challenges the immaculate history of porcelain while changing the course of the medium.
Artist
Gareth Mason
Gareth Mason is a British artist who, over his four-decade career, has consistently resisted the temptations of ceramic art’s conventions – particularly those surrounding the perceived purity of porcelain. Entangling irreverence and material risk with respect for ceramics history, Mason’s pots carry tensions and incompatibilities that defy straightforward resolution.
