  • David Shaner – (1934 – 2002) Artist's Statement – David
    DAVID SHANER – (1934 – 2002) David Shaner is an icon in the field of American ceramic art. He was instrumental in establishing the Archie Bray Foundation as a major player in ceramics, and he continued to support the Bray after retiring as its Resident Director. His exquisitely formed vessels with their understated glazes are a reflection of the man himself, a man in harmony with his environment and at peace in himself. Shaner was also noted as a teacher, a collector, and a generous contributor to the world of ceramic art and the field of environmental protection; his gardens which he called his “spiritual work” included notable specialized collections. While David Shaner’s life was cut short by ALS, his legacy continues through the David and Ann Shaner Resident Studio Complex which opened in 2005 at the Archie Bray foundation. ARTIST’S STATEMENT – DAVID SHANER “Basically, I am doing what I want to do and have never done anything else. By competing only with myself, I am not in pursuit of the crowd. Following one’s work is a joy and a challenge. One learns to do what is in one’s soul – thus revealing the connections between life and art. Although over the years I have become deeply involved with my tools and materials, simplicity of form and process have been my greatest achievements. And while the pots have been saturated with optimism, this has not always been easy to achieve. It is with a certain resilience I carry the belief that as life is enriched, the work can answer a resounding YES!”1 1.

  • Wanxin Zhang Zhang | Totem with an Exhibition of Life-Size Ceramic Sculptures
    San Francisco, CA: Catharine Clark Gallery presents Wanxin Wanxin Zhang Zhang | Totem with an exhibition of life-size ceramic sculptures. Totem is deeply inspired by Zhang’s upbringing Totem in Maoist China, his subsequent disillusionment, and his ultimate relocation to California as a young artist in the 1990s. The work in the exhibit reflects both a geographical November 8, 2014 – January 3, 2015 journey and an ideological search. Totem demonstrates Zhang’s mastery of the malleable and expressive qualities of Join us for an opening with the artist clay to disrupt and reshape both the form and meaning of on Saturday, November 8 traditional symbols and icons. from 4:00-6:00 pm Zhang’s new monumental clay figures feature the artist’s signature style—a blend that reflects Bay Area Figurative and California Funk traditions with nods to Chinese history. Inspired by his time studying with Peter Voulkous, and by the innovations of Robert Arneson and Stephen De Staebler, Zhang’s figures explore the organic, evocative qualities of clay, and the impact of popular culture on the body. Pink Warrior (2014) exemplifies the departure and hybridity in Zhang’s new work: an androgynous soldier coated in a glossy bubble-gum pink sheen; face and body a landscape of finger prints, gouges, coils and layers; inscripted with individual emotion rather than blank anonymity. This warrior retains the freeform construction and visual weight Wanxin Zhang of Zhang’s well known Pit #5 series, but is an entirely new The Refluent Tide ensign of power structure dismantlement. Zhang’s Pieta 2014 figures further exemplify the cross-cultural reshaping unique 24 x 24 x 32 inches to the artist’s aesthetic.

Contact Information Reference Department Archives of American Art Smithsonian Institution Washington. D.C. 20560 www.aaa.si.edu/askus Transcript Preface The following oral history transcript is the result of a tape-recorded interview with Viola Frey on February 27, May 15 & June 19, 1995. The interview took place in oakland, CA, and was conducted by Paul Karlstrom for the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution. Interview Session 1, Tape 1, Side A (30-minute tape sides) PAUL KARLSTROM: Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution. An interview with Viola Frey at her studio in Oakland, California, February 27, 1995. The interviewer for the Archives is Paul Karlstrom and this is what we hope will be the first in a series of conversations. It's 1:35 in the afternoon. Well, Viola, this is an interview that has waited, I think, about two or three years to happen. When I first visited you way back then I thought, "We really have to do an interview." And it just took me a while to get around to it. But at any rate what I would like to do is take a kind of journey back in time, back to the beginning, and see if we can't get some insight into, of course, who you are, but then where these wonderful works of art come from, perhaps what they mean.

  • Clayton Bailey (1939 - )
    CLAYTON BAILEY (1939 - ) Clayton Bailey‟s incredible universe defies description. One of the University of California-Davis Funk artists, Bailey uses ceramics, metals, and mixed media to create sculptures that give life to the fantasies going on in his head. His amazingly crafted pieces have been described by others, and indeed by himself, as “Nut Art” or “Crock Art” - they move, they make noises, and above all they refuse to take themselves or the world seriously. ARTIST’S STATEMENT – CLAYTON BAILEY “I like the „magic‟ of converting mud into stone.”1 1. Quoted in: Susan Peterson. The Craft and Art of Clay. Englewood Cliffs, N. J.: Prentice Hall, 1992.
