CV
Wayne Ngan has distinguished himself as one of the most virtuosic potters of our time. Winning awards straight out of art school, his reputation as a potter has grown to a world wide acknowledgement of his contribution to the art. Now 76, his recent production is increasingly sculptural, fantastical forms which begin with traditional shapes only to exaggerate their proportions into something entirely contemporary. Ngan stays true to the material, emphasizing the clays personality often leaving it partially exposed behind strips of slip and pigment. Inspired by nature his work functions on a different time continuum, a return to an essentialist connection to material.
