Ceramic Art London 2013

I had a great time visiting Ceramic Art London, there were many of my favourite ceramicists including Peter Hayes, Tony Laverick and Chris Keenan. It was a pleasure to view some of their new pieces and chat.

As well as my established favourites I encountered a new artist Myung Nam An, her work really appealed to my interest, the pieces she was displaying were like intricate adaptations of Ernst Haeckel's Radiolaria illustrations.

Here are some examples of Heackel's drawings:

You can read more about radiolaria and Ernst Haekel's discoveries here.

Once you see Myung Nam An's ceramics you may begin to see the resemblance and I think its amazing how she applies her pieces with such an amount of immense details.

The sheer skill needed for anyone to translate Haeckel's drawings into three-dimensional form successfully must, in my view, indicate that they are a true master of their craft.
