MASTERS OF THEIR ART
An exhibition of Ceramics and Paintings by highly regarded experts
6th - 28th September 2008
Ceramics - Walter Keeler and Takeshi Yasuda
Kim Taylor Gallery Owner says "We are proud to exhibit the work of two master potters whose work and teaching have had a profound influence on studio ceramics over several decades. Keeler has not exhibited widely this year and The Gallery at Bevere is looking forward to showing a large selection of his work that collectors and admirers alike have come to enjoy."
Walter Keeler is one of the UK's top contemporary potters, and is a Fellow of the Craft Potters Association of Great Britain. Walter was born in London in 1942 and completed his NDD in Ceramics at Harrow School of Art under Victor Margrie and Michael Casson, and later returned there to teach. His work is featured in many notable international public collections that include the Crafts Council, the Victoria & Albert Museum, National Museum of Wales, Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, Los Angeles County Museum, American Craft Museum and the National Museum of Sweden.
Takeshi Yasuda is one of the most celebrated potters working in Britain today, Born in Tokyo, he was apprenticed to the Daisei-Gama pottery in Mashiko between 1963-66, and established his first studio there. He settled in Britain in 1973, combining his creative work with teaching for Art Schools and Universities across the UK. He has work in public and private collections both abroad and in the UK, including the Victoria and Albert Museum, London.
David Whiting Ceramics Critic writes "Yasuda is really something of a national treasure, not only because of the stately and celebratory pots he makes but because his philosophy is so directly engaged with the notion that underpins this activity, that of the pot as a focus in our daily lives and rituals. Not just a visual object, but something to be cherished on many other levels."
Paintings - John Whittall, Howard Coles, Paul Talbot-Greaves, Sue Howells
John Whittall is an established artist John Whittall is an established artist living in Wimbledon, London, with works in permanent collections in the National Portrait Gallery and Westminster Abbey.
Brian Sewell, Art Critic of the London Evening Standard is quoted "...These paintings will never be the stuff of fervid controversy in incomprehensible art jargon; they are images with which to live in peace as they become old friends."
Howard Coles is an increasingly acclaimed artist, producing contemporary landscape paintings. He has exhibited throughout the UK and worldwide, with his work held by national collections in Singapore and Malaysia. He was recently elected to the Royal Cambrian Academy of Art dedicated to showing excellence in Welsh Art.
Paul Talbot-Greaves has specialised in painting watercolours for the last fifteen years and his inspiration is drawn from strong tones and contrast found within the landscape. An avid walker and mountaineer, he is constantly recording the effects of light and shade within his native British Isles.
Paul was elected as a companion of the International Guild of Artists in 1996 and as an Associate of the British Watercolour Society in 1998. He was made a Professional Associate of the Society for All Artists in 1997 and in 2002 was elected as President of the Halifax Art Society.
Sue Howells is now recognised as one of the UK's leading watercolour artists, and her work can be seen in many galleries in the UK and also in major galleries around the world. Sue has recently won a prestigious Fine Arts award for best-selling published artist in 2008. She explains "I like to paint solely in watercolours, because I think it lets me produce pictures which are both energetic and which have a strong compositional value".
