Kintsugi金継ぎ

The Japanese art of fixing broken pottery with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum.

As a philosophy it treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise.

Grayson PerryIs a potter and an artist who creates classically shaped vasescovered with figures, patterns and text.

The revealing and often dark subject matter depicted on thesepots is at first disguised by their colourful, decorativeappearance.

His chosen topics include autobiographical images of himself,his family, as well as references to political events and aninvestigation of cultural stereotypes.

He subverts the craft form of ceramics. He revels in its second-class status within world of fine arts, in order to explorechallenging, yet witty and thought provoking themes.

‘A lot of my work has always had a guerrilla tactic, a stealthtactic. I want to make something that lives with the eye as abeautiful piece of art, but on closer inspection, a polemic oran ideology will come out of it’.
