Adrian Castelo is a California ceramic artist born and raised in San Diego. Adrian draws inspiration from the floral forms painted by Georgia O'Keefe, and by the eccentric pottery of Mississippi master potter George Ohr. His most striking works include hand-built vases and teapots constructed with delicate leaf-like elements, wrapped like layers of an onion around a solid body. These organic constructions veil the classic form of the vessel with sculptural details that give each piece a unique beauty and a life of its own. Jonathan Bock's newest works focus on the artist's spiritual and physical relationships with the natural world. Some are profoundly simple, iconic images that speak to the viewer on an emotional level. Others combine images from nature with abstract pattern, bold color, and geometric design. In addition to works on paper, Bock will also be presenting a new body of ceramic works focused on the aesthetics created when human activity and nature intertwine. Castelo and Bock will be demonstrating Raku ceramic firing techniques on both Saturday and Sunday. CLICK HERE to learn more about SIERRA ART TRAILS. |
