CERAMICS

  • Ian Stallard

Ian Stallard produces fine porcelain ceramics in conjunction with his business partner Patrik Fredrikson. Their work fuses the simple with the opulent, the non-conforming with the traditional, to create a fresh perception to ceramics.

Cable and Dragon Vases

‘Cable' and ‘Dragon', featured here, are fine porcelain vessels decorated with three-dimensional additions that have connotations with both the modern world and the ancient past.  These are anchored on simple upright shapes with narrow necks. Ian's work is fragile and beautiful and stands alone as sculpture.

Six Chinese dragon-heads guard the otherwise plain form of the Dragon vase and it is this juxtaposition which makes it so unique. East meets West as the detailed heads stand out in stark contrast to the simple and contemporary body of the vessel.

With Cable, Ian was inspired by the beauty of a bundle of electric cables seen running up the walls of a building being constructed. Porcelain cast cables run up the elegant body of this piece, seemingly held by cable clamps.

Bolt Vase

With delicate white porcelain, exaggerated seams and sterling silver fastenings BOLT vase gives the industrial process a beauty in its own right. It is not about underlining and accepting flaws, but to celebrate the industrial aesthetic.

Ming Vase

Ian continues to explore and comment on our classic view on ceramic. The MING collection marries high and low culture blending preciousness and mass consumerism. Rather than coating the piece in the traditional way with glaze, each piece is uniquely encased in industrial plastics bring the surface decoration into the third dimension.The Ming collection was chosen for the French National Art Collection.

Other work

Ian produces ranges of tableware, lighting, decorative and functional bowls alongside his more sculptural works like Cable and Dragon.

Ian Stallard studied Ceramic Design at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design and his work has been shown in London and New York.
