Title: Large Wood Fired Vessel
Artist: Paul Chaleff
This vessel reflects the elemental understanding of Chaleff’s mode of ceramic production, a structure roughly hewn and exhibiting the scars of its firing as imperative to the design and decoration. The distinct ash-glaze residue has been developed through a Japanese process of anagama wood-firing which the artist has championed and helped to revive in America over his career after studying in Japan across the 1970-80s, slowly increasing the scale and length of time under which the clay is fired to present remarkable combinations of surface detail.
Hieronymus was established as an online gallery in 2014 to showcase the collection of the Richard and Alita Rogers Family Foundation.
