Special Contemporary Focus ArtWalk in Scottsdale
November 21, 2019 @ 6:30 pm - 9:00 pm
Come in and meet renowned potter Randy O’Brien and as he explains his fascination with this basic earthen material.
As part of the City of Scottsdale’s “Contemporary Month,” taking place from October 21 through November 21, this Gold Palette ArtWalk highlights contemporary artists born since 1950 and their redefinition of art. Galleries will showcase works of arts that may shatter traditional stereotypes of how Scottsdale art is traditionally defined.
Restaurants, museums and free trolley and/or horse-drawn carriage rides are available during ArtWalk to transport visitors from numerous free parking areas throughout the Scottsdale Arts District and Scottsdale Downtown.
“I find a lot of pleasure exploring the infinite possibilities in ceramics. My glazes are a three-dimensional surface. They add as much form to a piece as does the clay. I take my inspiration from the natural world. Lichens, mosses and mineral formations influence my decisions.”
Each vessel possesses a distinctly three-dimensional surface, with no two pieces exhibiting the same patterns. To create these very special effects, Randy uses a mix of volcanic ash and metallic oxides, which when slowly fired render this uniquely crusty appearance.
