Ceramic Sculptures IV

Our second set of sculptures are also made and baked. No damages so far. I am posting a few pictures of the same...

The fish is a handbuilt piece by Pushpa. More textures are to be given on the surface.

This is my piece. I made the center on the wheel and everything else was handbuilt. I am quite pleased with the texture on the surface.

We are hoping that we get the glazes right....

On the potters wheel

It is always facinating to watch a pot take shape on the wheel. It looks easy too. But believe me, it is anything but an easy task. It is one of the most demanding task which requires concentration, attention to details and lots and lots of patience.

The marvel of something beautiful emering out of the most uninspiring lump of clay attracted us to the wheel. After a long battle with the clay and the wheel we got our basic cylinder just right. Never knew that getting a cylinder out of the wheel will make us so proud of ourselves.

From there the process was much faster and we started working on different shapes and styles. Our shared passion for abstracts started influencing our pottery too and we tried to bring in an element of abstract into our creations.

Our exhibitions on ceramic pottery Hot Perspectives 1 & 2 were the result of the recognition of our work on the wheel by the Directorate of art and culture, Sharjah.

Hi Art Enthusiasts....

Art fascinates us. We have dabbled in various forms of fine art.
Abstract art has been our tool of expression. We started experimenting with colors in our abstract paintings. The strong influence of the rich Indian culture and our emotions can be felt in our paintings.
Having lived in the Arab world for over a decade, their culture and art influenced us. Arabic Calligraphy has been the most ancient form of expression in art in this part of the world. The enchanting world of alphabets opened a wide arena and we have tried to use it as a form of depiction in our creations.
Ceramic clay has been another media in which we have worked extensively. The movement of the clay on the wheel resulting in enticing forms of pottery has been another of our artistic endeavor.
In this blog we want to take you on a journey in the world of art through our eyes and we hope that this gives you as much pleasure as it gives us.
