Kathy Erteman "Traffic Patterns"
The Jane Hartsook Gallery
This event has ended.
Greenwich House Pottery's Harstook Gallery will present “Traffic Patterns” an exhibition comprised of large scale wall pieces, vessels and works on paper by Kathy Erteman.
In this first New York exhibition of new works in ceramic and paper, Kathy Erteman invites the viewer to visit worlds colored by volcanic rock, unpolished lapis, cracked earth, wet river rocks, worn leather and snow. Erteman has perfected a world of profoundly sensual ceramic glazes to create modular wall-sized installations, the largest measuring 12 feet by 5 feet.
Erteman has continuously subverted expectation throughout her distinguished, three-decade career as a studio ceramic artist. In "Traffic Patterns" Erteman draws on a unexpected and complimentary range of influences: mid-century architecture and decorative arts, abstract expressionism, the minimal grid, European Modernism and the suffused light of her native Southern California. An entire new range of abstracted images display themselves and then recombine in both her paintings on ceramic tablets and in monoprints on Mulberry paper.
