Patrick Parrish Gallery is pleased to present Converging Bodies, an exhibition of contemporary Norwegian Ceramics curated by Lars Sture and Patrick Parrish. Inspired by a recent trip to Norway sponsored by the Norwegian Crafts, Parrish and Sture have selected works by seven contemporary artists with unique and diverse approaches to ceramics. The exhibition is realized in partnership with Norwegian Crafts.
The artists’ wide range of expression demonstrates a diverse rather than conforming field: from objects that examine use and utility—where the medium originates—to figurative sculptural works, each artist addresses the principles of form and body, two fundamental elements of ceramic art. Converging Bodies is a compelling cross-section of the boldness and ingenuity taking place in contemporary ceramics around Norway.
