Heritage guides ceramist’s creative path
Print Edition
CERAMIST Lan Tian’s solo exhibition “Arising from Heritage” is under way at Around Space Living through November 30.
On display are 70 ceramic works created by Lan, who is a postgraduate at the China Academy of Art’s Department of Ceramics. The word “heritage” has been guiding Lan’s creative path for more than a decade. He integrates traditional processing skills, decorations and ware shapes regardless of which dynasty or reference to develop his own aesthetics.
It is easy to tell the traditional style represented by his ceramic works at first sight. However, upon closer inspection, they reveal nuances, such as subtle changes in structural proportion and revisited motifs, requiring visitors to dive into the sensations conveyed by the wares. He has also adopted techniques used in other eastern Asian countries, especially Japan. By studying Japanese ceramics, Lan seamlessly incorporates “imperfect” handmade marks like unglazed, iron spots into his work.
The exhibition is curated by Gu Qing, founder of Qing Studio. Gu published her first book “Down to Earth” in 2018, which introduced contemporary Chinese potters and their works.
