PHILLIP & SCOTT

Phillip Maberry and Scott Walker

“For over 25 years we have created one-of-a kind ceramic sculptures, reliefs and objects for gallery and museum installations as well having fulfilled numerous residential and commercial commissions. Our emphasis has always been on modern interpretations of past decorative styles, infused with an optimistic spirit.”

The “Pool Toys” effect clever spatial gambits within compressed, deceptively simple interplays of ornamentation and sculptural articulation. Although the artists work in time-honored ceramic tradition, they are continually expanding the focus of their work to include new technologies, such as digital transfer processes, glow-in-the-dark glazes, and other new materials.

Phillip Maberry and Scott Walker have had regular exhibitions at the Garth Clark Gallery in New York City, Frank Lloyd Gallery in Santa Monica, as well as the 1983 Whitney Biennial. Their work is included in the permanent collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Newark Museum, and the Victoria and Albert Museum.

Phillip Maberry and Scott Walker live and work in the high desert near Joshua Tree.

REBECCA RICH

REBECCA RICH

REBECCA RICH

Rebecca Rich was born in New York and lives and works in Los Angeles, California. She has a BA from Occidental College and an MFA from Claremont Graduate University. Rich works in a variety of media including painting, video, installation, and public projects. Most recently she was included in the survey show, Abstract Los Angeles: Four Generations.
 
In her paintings, Rich creates a state of flux, a sense of moving forward in time, in motion, but perfectly still. The work doesn’t resolve itself.  Permanent resting spaces are actively revealed through sequences and forms that come together, splinter or oppose each other. The improvisation of looking and the spontaneity of forming a story will evoke an encounter between the viewer and the work.

HANK SAXE

HANK SAXE

Hank Saxe has been working in ceramics for more than four decades in Taos, NM. He states, “A fascination with natural sciences led me to ceramics, an original meeting ground of art and technology. Starting out, I didn’t know how clays and minerals worked, but I thought I’d better figure out how to use that stuff. Still working on figuring that out, my sculptures are outcomes of investigation into process and materials and experimental interactions of form, color and texture.”

Hank Saxe and his wife Cynthia Patterson have created numerous large-scale architecture and sculpture projects, and developed and produced a line of architectural ceramics. Yet it is out of this practical aspect of their work that Saxe developed his personal creative process. In a studio geared to mechanical production, Saxe mastered his industrial equipment while also deploying it in the service of art, making his own creative inquiries on the side. “The challenge for me was to use the production tools in a way not dictated by necessity and efficiency, but open to possibility.”
