“For some, the space inside a 12″ cube will seem nearly infinite, while others will have to re-imagine their work just to squeeze it in. I challenge all ceramic artists, from functional potters to sculptors to installation artists… To see the 12” glass cube through the eyes of inspiration rather than limitation!

The field of ceramics is bursting with some of the most fertile and creative minds in the contemporary art world and I look forward to seeing how the challenge of Clay3 is interpreted!”

Must see video: The Skulls of Derik Van Beers by the Perez Brothers


From the press release:
The Perez Brothers (www.perezbros.com) proudly present the modern ceramic art of Derik Van Beers in their artist profile film entitled, The Skulls of Derik Van Beers. Derik Van Beers’ Website: http://www.derikvanbeers.com/ Working exclusively with the primal image of the skull, the art of Van Beers is meant to provoke themes of lost innocence and to playfully remind viewers of their own mortality. In an effort to celebrate the emerging art scene in their hometown of Oakland California, the Perez Brothers have created a short film that simultaneously attempts to exhibit the finest techniques in both film and ceramics. Recently, the Perez Brothers have summed up The Skulls of Derik Van Beers as a “Morbidly optimistic examination of both life and art.”
Enjoy!
