Sunday Evening Art Gallery — Jeremy Anderson

Jeremy Anderson is a New York City based ceramic artist and designer known for his sculptural approach to lighting, furniture, and object-making.Anderson was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota and has been working with clay for over 25 years.From the beginning of his work with ceramics, the act of creating has served Anderson as a conduit to tap into childlike play: the process of throwing, assembling, and painting built around meditative make-believe.His work explores form, texture, and surface, drawing inspiration from a wide range of sources, including natural landscapes, architecture, and the raw, elemental qualities of materials.

Anderson creates the pieces by throwing the cylindrical components, before cutting, stacking and blending them. The mesmerizing patterns and textural quality of the porcelain and stoneware vessels are a result of a meticulous process. Blending traditional wheel-throwing, hand-building, and casting techniques, Anderson creates pieces that challenge the boundaries between function and sculpture.“People use the surface of a vessel to tell a story,” Anderson adds.“For me, these are more like characters. It was really about dressing them up. They take on individual personalities.”More of Jeremy Anderson’s unique creations can be found at https://www.jeremy-anderson.com/ and https://galleryfumi.com/artists/jeremy-anderson.
