Floris Wubben New York January 7 - April 30, 2021
Appropriate for the beginning of a new year, we present to you new work by Floris Wubben, currently on view at Casa Perfect NY. A long-time staple of our programming, Wubben demonstrates an ability to experiment and grow through the use of a stolid vocabulary. Familiar yet unexpected and inventive, these works implement a new vision from a stylistically prophetic artist who is highly competent, resourceful and determined. While some of the processes may be instantly recognizable, Wubben has expanded his lexicon to include invigorating new forms and apparatuses. Incorporating mirrors, lighting and a range of glazes, Wubben’s ceramics are dynamic and expressive while maintaining a soft, poetic eloquence.
