Three ceramic artists unite in ‘New Porcelain’. Prue Venables composes functional objects of serene, elegant forms. Keiko Matsui’s practice is influenced by the Japanese technique of ‘Kintsugi’ – the art of repairing broken pottery, and Uranishi’s ideas draw on traditions of Japanese art and culture to create domestic objects with a modern edge.
“Through the juxtaposition of the curved thrown form and the sharply faceted foot, my work pursues the eternal beauty in contemporary ceramics.” – Keiko Matsui.
