Clint Neufeld: Grandpa Used To Wash My Hands With Gasoline


Neufeld, from Osler Saskatchewan, is ex military and a former firefighter. He works with concepts of masculine identity, currently in the form of ceramic transformations of engines and transmissions.


Taking a typically male pre-occupation with muscle cars, he replicates these components in ceramic. Finished like fine china, these sculptures take a grease monkey’s love of car parts and transform them into something precious. Placed on teacarts or chaises longue, these are made the object of attention the equivalent of a prized tea service or reclining nude.


Show runs: April 15, 2011 – July 3 2011 at Two Rivers Gallery in Prince George.725 Civic Plaza

“Aurora”


“Oilcan Tanks”. The cans are wheel thrown and are decorated with underglaze. The treads are made up of wood and metal.

The concept was derived from a government funded operation called “Militainment”. Which is the government funding going to diverse areas of media popularize war in a more entertaining fashion. It began with the Regan administration and “Star Wars” in the mid east.

“Old Fashioned”


The idea then grew into a more tangible questioning of our ancestors, the birth of capitalism, and the wholeness of American ideals.
