UPCOMING EXHIBITION:

STEPANKA HORALKOVA

March 15 - April 15, 2010

Ceramic artist Stepanka Horalkova was born in the Czech Republic and moved to New York City in 1995. She is a self-taught ceramic artist, focusing her attention on working with porcelain. Her work is all hand built, mainly using slabs that can range from standing vessels to standing abstract forms, wall pillow forms, wall sculptures and functional pieces. Her fascination with geometric shapes and textures goes as far back as when as a young girl, growing in the Czech Republic. She works with a complex palette: under glazes, slips, glazes and metallic lusters.

“I have always had a love for ceramics,” Stepanka says. “I find inspiration in all forms and the simplicity of the material. Each firing produce surprising results never are two alike.” “I fell in love with the unexpected nature of ceramics,” she explains. “ I have found something that I truly love.”

Stepanka employs earthy oxides, stains and glazes to compliment her simple forms and whimsical drawings. Stepanka has taught ceramics for many years in the New York City area.
