The union between ceramics and art has stood the test of time, with a friendship that has lasted for centuries. This fusion of water, earth, and creativity has evolved through various modes, giving life to a rich and lasting relationship. In the 21st century, ceramic artists are demonstrating that this medium has vast conceptual and functional potential. Attracted by its versatility, sensuality, and role as a platform for provocation, they are pushing the boundaries of what ceramics can achieve.
From those who diligently preserve ancient and traditional techniques to those who courageously explore radical ways of manipulating materials, these pioneers and revolutionaries are shaping the forefront of ceramic art. They are catalysts of innovation, constantly challenging conventions and redefining what is possible.
Although ceramics may have lost some of its original functional uses, such as being exclusively a precious object for the table or an indicator of social status, it still remains a privileged medium for artists to express their creativity.
This exhibition aims to celebrate the continuously evolving nature of ceramics and its lasting presence in the realm of art. text by ANTONIO LETTIERI/ CABANAmad
