Painting is Yared’s natural language. Intuitive and powerful, his brush strokes communicate a symbolic vocabulary that visually translates a depth of emotion.

DEREK KASPER

 

Sea Green Surf by Derek Kasper at The Avenue Gallery, a contemporary fine art gallery in Victoria, BC, Canada.

Sea Green Surf
Porcelain 3.5 x 20 x 20
$700

 

Sea Green Surf exemplifies the melding of technique and good fortune. There is a random element to the interior markings which are made at high speed on the wet clay and sometimes they perfectly mirror your intentions. It is always nice, too, when the layered glazes work together to highlight the markings. – Derek Kasper

 

Silver to Gold Transformation by Derek Kasper at The Avenue Gallery, a contemporary fine art gallery in Victoria, BC, Canada.

Silver to Gold Transformation
Porcelain 14 x 10 x 10
$575

 

Silver to Gold is further exploration of the synergy between very smooth and fluid form and the very fluid and variable glaze which changes appearance due to a multitude of factors! – Derek Kasper

Startled by Bruce Edmundson at The Avenue Gallery, a contemporary fine art gallery in Victoria, BC, Canada.

Startled
Comox Valley Big Leaf Maple Burl, white granite base 25 x 15 x 12
$1850

 

During this piece, it struck me that, notwithstanding its aesthetically unpleasant beginnings, the burl was a bit nervous, even shy, and appeared to be startled by what it had become, once shed of its exterior trappings. – Bruce Edmundson
