A white glazed bull stands beside a second figure, with a rider on its back. Rust-coloured marks run down the flank of the larger figure.
Adam Schwartz builds the figures in coils and joins the parts before the glaze is applied.
Exclusive Adam paints large figurative scenes on glazed ceramic, working from memory rather than from models. His figures float, climb and tangle in landscapes that feel half-remembered. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna and has exhibited in Vienna, Berlin and Almaty.
A group exhibition of ceramics at Focus Gallery in Almaty. The opening night is on 6 November at 18:00, and everyone is welcome to attend.
A solo exhibition by Adam Schwartz. His large painted dishes and bowls show figures that float, climb and tangle in half-remembered landscapes.
