Michael Ciavarella
Official opening: Friday 29 April, 6.00pm
Opening speaker: Stephanie Outridgefield
Contemporary Artist (Public Art) The concept of miniature artworks en masse has been intriguing and fascinating art-lovers from the very beginning of Up in Smoke at the Clay Energy Conference in Gulgong, where 150 matchboxes were filled with a ceramic artwork crafted by each contributing artist. Michael Ciavarella has an ambitious long-term goal of a collection of 5000 matchbox artworks to be exhibited at the International Ceramics Conference in Finland in 2014. Ceramic artists from around the world are invited to contribute an artwork to the collection.Noosa Regional Gallery[email protected]www.noosaregionalgallery.org

i’m very proud to be a self employed artist. 6 yrs out of grad school and i’m finally getting out of the red and into the black (with a redish tinge). but i hate tax season. while my husband has 3 pieces of paper to give to the tax man i spend days sorting and adding and cursing and sometimes crying. but it’s one of the prices you pay to do what you love, or so i try to tell myself…

Preceding his solo exhibition at Society of Arts and Crafts on Friday, April 29th, Snipes will demonstrate his construction methods: combining both hand built and thrown and altered forms in porcelain. His narrative based ceramic vessels present imagery with social relevance, using mishima, sgraffito and slip decoration techniques to produce intricate, layered surfaces.
Snipes’ artwork is a combination of atypical pottery forms and quirky figurative drawings. His pieces are influenced by an array of traditional and nontraditional art forms, including street art, architecture, contemporary painting, the avid love of art history and even children’s drawings. His work has an underlying sophistication, which is based in existentialist thought.
Bio: Kevin Snipes was born in Philadelphia, but grew up mostly in Cleveland. He holds a BFA from the Cleveland Institute of Art and did MFA work at the University of Florida, in Gainesville, Florida. From there he participated in several artist residency programs, including the Clay Studio, in Philadelphia and Watershed Center for Ceramic Arts, in New Castle, Maine he was also a visiting artist at Louisiana State University, in Baton Rouge. Kevin was the recipient of the Taunt Fellowship from the Archie Bray Foundation in 2008, in Helena, Montana and was recently awarded a 2010 McKnight Residency Fellowship through the Northern Clay Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota where he currently resides. Kevin combines his love of making unconventional pottery with an obsessive need to draw on everything that he produces, creating a uniquely dynamic body of work.
