Laura Rathe Fine Art Presents New Ceramic Works by Lucrecia Waggoner in Houston, TX
Acclaimed Houston gallery, Laura Rathe Fine Art, announces an exhibition of new works by contemporary ceramic artist, Lucrecia Waggoner, in a solo show, with an opening reception on Thursday, November 17, from 5 - 8pm at 1700 Post Oak Blvd. The new collection will be on display through December 17th, 2016.
Houston, TX, November 02, 2016 --(PR.com)-- About The Artist: Well-known Dallas artist Lucrecia Waggoner, raised in Mexico City, discovered ceramics at the age of 7 while taking an arts and crafts course at the Museo de Antrpologia. She followed her passions to Europe and Asia where she enrolled in ceramics classes and continued her studies at Parson School of Design in New York.
Waggoner’s work moves beyond the confines of functional pottery. Her careful craftsmanship, and ornamental detail has led her to create beautiful wall sculptures that are purely aesthetic. Using a potter’s wheel to build clay into delicate vessels, she has transformed porcelain into a sophisticated fine art form. Her works are shown internationally and acquired in various private, public and corporate collections.
Waggoner’s installations are multidimensional, and present intricately mapped forms derived from nature. Ranging from one piece to several hundred, the installations are composed of one-of-a-kind ceramic vessels. For the new collection, Waggoner chose the bold simplicity of a black and white color palette to give her work a new edge. While her inspiration is still deeply rooted in organic forms and natural elements – flowers, butterflies, trees, rivers – this series is meant to express a more contemporary perspective. There is a freshness to this collection, with bold color and form and the mixture of disparate media. Continuing to utilize precious metal leafing in 22K gold and palladium, and the natural element of wood, this exhibition represents the next step and Waggoner’s creative expression.
