5 Beautiful Things

Gaynor and Ostinelli

Gaynor Ostinelli and Paul Priest have achieved something quite unique in the realm of the ceramic arts: a collaborative partnership resulting in whimsical, large-scale sculptures that depict the animal and human worlds through expressive shape and movement that is almost sketch-like in its spontaneity. The UK artists work independently as successful potters but when they mix minds (and media) the resulting artwork is striking. A melange of homemade glazes is poured over folded and twisted sheets of clay that have formed the shape of a dancing horse, a wayward hare on the back of a dog or a disinterested cow. Below are five beautiful examples of their work. Click here to see more from their collection.
