Alberto Cidraes - Art is an alternative to society, a way of life, a point of view, a refusal to follow rules at face value. Re-creation and reevaluation of reality are a mission for the artist. I see the world falling appart. Civilization is not sustainable. Archaic simplicity can be a counterpoint to urban madness, at least symbolically. Human culture and nature have been less divorced from each other. Life has been magical. Tribal wisdom mantained balance. In my work I don't try to comment on the global society that surrounds me. I will rather re-capture the trends that were bulldozed by industrial culture. Anthropological surrealism searches for the dream that was passed by and never dreamt. Ultra-lowtech, minimalistic process, are choices I take. Clay is extracted nearby, processed in the studio and used without any industrial additives. Eucalyptus firewood comes from lumber leftovers. Work is experimental in a casual way. Themes are explored with subtle differences between serial pieces. I was always interested in nature's litter, or less coveted natural resources such as driftwood, bamboo, stones and clay. From the humble soil we lay feet on to make objects for the tables of imaginary kings and priests ...

Artists Describing Their Art:
John Obrien - Dimensional canvases of expression, is one way to describe the artwork of John O'Brien. Whether it is a graceful vase or a sculpture making a statement he is always pushing the limitations of the medium. John O'Brien is competitive by nature he has always taken his art seriously, continuing to learn and challenge himself. He feels that the versatility of the clay is only limited by the hands and mind of the artist that places the clay on the wheel. He strives to create something that has not already been created. John has studied every aspect of the art form - from building his own wheels and kilns, to the chemistry of the clay and glazes. He has more than 30 years invested in his knowledge and ability of ceramic art. Presently, throwing on the wheel and sculpting are his primary forms. ...Alberto Cidraes - Art is an alternative to society, a way of life, a point of view, a refusal to follow rules at face value.
