Back

John Parker's ceramic work is highly regarded both within New Zealand and overseas. Working from clean austere form, his pieces have both elegance and power. Using both his skill as a ceramicist and the skills which he has developed through a long association with the theatre, the artist creates pieces which inhabit their surroundings in much the way that actors inhabit a stage. Individual pieces have their own characters, and when placed alongside each other, these personalities interact to create a sum greater than the parts.

While Parker has previously created pieces in a range of colours ranging from sheer austerity to flamboyance, in his current exhibition he has pared back to monochrome, producing pieces predominantly in leather-like matt black and white and hard shiny black. In doing so, he has allowed focus to rest on texture and form.
