Past exhibitions 

Lucie Rie

Erskine, Hall & Coe is pleased to present an exhibition of exquisitely thrown works in porcelain, stoneware and earthenware by Lucie Rie (1902-1995) Lucie Rie has a long history at 15 Royal Arcade in London. Her work was first shown here at the opening of Galerie Besson in 1988, and has been regularly exhibited since. For our forthcoming exhibition we are delighted to be showing over thirty works from throughout her lifetime, including the first bowl bought by Galerie Besson. The show will consist of works that span over six decades, from rare pieces made in Vienna in the early 1930’s to beautiful bowls made in Rie’s Albion Mews studio in London in the late 1980’s.

Genta Ishizuka

Kyoto artist Genta Ishizuka’s first European exhibition ‘Membrane’ will be running from the 21st February to 22nd March, 2018, featuring 21 works in urushi lacquer.

“I believe “membrane” is a word that is connected to both my production method that utilizes elastic cloth, as well as the sense of envelopment given by applying the urushi, in the way it covers the whole work like a skin. This word that is used with animals, plants and other organisms also has an affinity with the organic material of urushi, and be a  kind of skin, connoting physicality.”

Sarah Flynn

Tuesday to Saturday, 10am – 6pm.

 

“Having begun my career producing small-scale functional pots, as my skill and confidence have increased I have moved entirely into making one-off vessels which are purely sculptural in their intent.
Increasingly the main elements feeding the development of the work are Process and Finish; coupled with constant exploration and a deepening understanding of Form and Volume.”

Gordon Baldwin & Ewen Henderson

Works from the Mike O’Connor Collection

 

Erskine, Hall & Coe are pleased to present Gordon Baldwin & Ewen Henderson, comprising 30 works by two of the most important and influential 20th century British artists working in clay.

On the face of it, the two ceramic artists exhibited together here could not be more different. Gordon Baldwin’s sculptural vessels, with their smooth, painterly surfaces, and considered forms, stand perfectly balanced. Although invariably asymmetrical, enquiring, the questions they explore elucidated with patches, pocks, grids and lines, they have a poised authority. Ewen Henderson’s sculptures, by contrast, seem to re-enact the drama of their making. Craggy, rough, your eye dances over their surfaces, drawn from one excitement of texture or colour to another, discovering their formal logic as you move around them. They seem to triumph in accident, just as mountains owe their magnificence to cataclysmic movements beneath the earth’s surface.

– Emma Crichton-Miller

I feel overwhelmed by her tremendous spirit when I look at some of the work that will be shown in London. Delicate jade-color glazes that remain in the bottom of bowls that look like broken shards of ancient earthenware; and that suggest the deposition of memories and time.

YASUHISA KOHYAMA   –  4-27 February 2015

 

Kohyama has played a very unique and significant role in reviving the use of the traditional Japanese ‘Anagama’ wood firing kiln, as he was the first potter in Shigaraki to build such a kiln since the Middle Ages.  He is also a contemporary master of the ancient practice of Sueki, a method that originated in southern China and which accounts for his unglazed yet glassy surface textures. Kohyama’s work is collected internationally and exhibited widely throughout Japan and overseas.  It is included in the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Art and Design in New York, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Cleveland Museum of Art, as well as several museums throughout the Netherlands and Germany.”The work of Kohyama…is an expression and bold bridge between the ancient techniques of Sueki and anagama firing and contemporary Japanese abstract ceramics. No glazes are used on his works; the varied surface texture, sheen and matte effects, and subtly restricted colors of each piece are achieved entirely by the potter’s hand, the clay body composition, the firing wood and the placement in relationship to the intense heat of the kiln, and the unpredictably swirling ash, all highly natural results.” –Ann Albano, Executive Director, The Sculpture Center, Cleveland, Ohio, 2009

On the surface Erskine, Hall and Coe believe they are hosting an exhibition of mainly black pots but it is really a dance performance expressed through the potter’s hands. No music is needed. The rhythmic sway and lilt of Flynn’s vessels provide the syncopation. – Garth Clark

Ewen Henderson

 Born in Staffordshire in 1934, Ewen Henderson studied painting and sculpture in Cardiff, and later trained in ceramics under Hans Coper and Lucie Rie at the Camberwell School of Art.  Henderson’s work is very closely linked to the landscape which surrounded him, which includes Avebury, Eden Valley in Cumbria, the Rollright Stones in north Oxfordshire, Orkney and Manorbier in Pembrokeshire.  His vessels and tea bowls are hand-built and made of laminated stoneware.

“I fell in love with both the material and the vessel as a magical form; but it was a long time before I realised how I wanted to use it…I was seduced by the alchemy of change where you take a material…and it is transmogrified into something else.”—Ewen Henderson

Annie Turner & Hervé Jézéquel  :   Annie Turner is a British ceramic artist from Suffolk, whose art is very closely linked with the river Deben and its surrounding environment where she grew up. Turner’s sculptures are delicate and fragile, yet possess a quality of strength that suggests movements of currents and the tides of the water, changing seasons and the passage of time. Her work communicates with the concepts of Hervé Jézéquel’s pictures. Jézéquel is a French photographer living in Paris, who explores ideas of ruined architecture and landscape in his work. He has travelled to many diverse areas such as Iceland, Spain, Greece, Italy and Turkey.

James Tower :

James Tower is one of the most distinguished ceramic artists of the 20th century.  His ceramics are unique for their visual effects which suggest that he responds to nature and his environment.  He became an established artist in the 1950’s and has exhibited alongside such artists as Barbara Hepworth and William Scott.  A goal of Tower’s was to achieve a quality in his work that is, in his words – ” perhaps best defined as a sense of completion,  a longing for a serene harmonious whole which contains dynamism and vitality, satisfying our intellectual and spiritual needs.’ — James Tower.

Shozo Michikawa

Shozo Michikawa lives and works in Seto, a home to potters for 1,300 years.  His work has been exhibited internationally, including a landmark exhibition in 2005 in Beijing’s Forbidden City.

Angus Stewart, in an essay about Michikawa’s work written in 2011, declares:
“…Michikawa’s originality calls out for attention.  He offers freshness, technical prowess and figurative puzzles that irk and stimulate the alert.  The traditions he draws upon dates back to the cave dwellers.  Michikawa’s excellence as a technician, his empathy with natural phenomena, and his outstanding artistry, are something to shout about.”

Gwyn Hanssen Pigott
Inspired by the work of modernist potters Bernard Leach, Hans Coper and Lucie Rie, as well as the paintings of Giorgio Morandi, Hanssen Pigott is one of Australia’s most successful ceramic artists.  She is distinguished for the unique abstract simplicity of her meditative, off-white porcelain pots, arranged in close groupings, which can be seen both as metaphors and as ordinary everyday objects.

       Ruth Duckworth   ( 1919 – 2009 ):   Ruth approached clay as a sculptor rather as a potter, and brought an aesthetic rigour to her refined vessel forms, figurative sculptures and installations. She helped shape a new way of thinking about ceramics in the second half of the 20th century, and was the recipient of many awards for her extraordinary contribution to the arts.

      Shozo Michikawa :   Shozo Michikawa was born in Hokkaido, the most northern area of Japan. He initially had a career in business but took up evening classes in art where he discovered his talent and passion for pottery. A few years later in the 1970’s, Shozo made the decision to give up his life in business and to focus on creating ceramics. In July 2005, Shozo was given the rare honour as being the first Japanese artist to have a solo exhibition of his art in The Forbidden City in Beijing. He has widely exhibited in Japan and around the world, including the Philippines, Mongolia, France, China, New York and London.

   Ewen Henderson : For Henderson, “fluxed earth”, as he called clay, was capable of being stretched and teased into complex new forms. His construction methods produced objects with a multiplicity of colour and textures, edges and interior spaces. His mastery of form was based on his insights as a painter, and he always stressed drawing as the key to his three-dimensional achievements. In the late 80s, Henderson’s ceramics became more sculptural, and he largely abandoned the vessel in favour of intricate open structures – often monumental – investigating his interest in intersecting volumes, spaces, edges and contours: a three-dimensional development of Cubism.
