Terra Delft Gallery Gallery for contemporary ceramics



Ross Emerson (GB)

1954

statement

His multicoloured, ceramic clocks come to life like quirky characters, personae with appealing human hands and feet.Homely scenes are applied on the cap, with a twisted perspective both literally and figuratively.Musical instruments, chess boards, birds and animals, a colourful combination is brought together with plenty of humour.By means of his parodies of various art trends and comments on other artists, such as Escher's black and white pattern, he reminds us of the inevitable ticking of time.Gold details accentuate the deep colours, applied layer on layer.
