If you happen to be down in Cornwall over the next three weeks, you’ll be in for a treat if you seek out the New Craftsman Gallery.
One of the Isle of Wight’s internationally recognised ceramic artists, Matthew Chambers, best known for his unique sculptural ceramics, has an exhibition running until 29th July and boy, what a collection he has on show!
With collectors around the World, it’s no surprise that 11 pieces have already been sold, despite the exhibition only being open a matter of days.
Matthew Chambers 2022
If you have ever been down to the Binnel Studios Summer Exhibition you may have been lucky enough to see Matthew’s work up close. His latest exhibition features more of his incredible concentric vessels which nest within larger forms.
Matthew explains that each work is constructed from individually thrown circular sections, enhanced by a subtle palette of stains and oxides, which are then combined to form concentric designs inspired by the ordered beauty of geometry and constructivist art.
Matthew’s extraordinary works are the result of his highly accomplished technical precision and understanding of form, and have advanced the possibilities of ceramic art beyond previously accepted boundaries.
