GENNADY DVORKIN
CERAMICS FIRED IN THE HEART OF TEL AVIV
WOODFIRING
The wood fired ceramics are real and beautiful. Living fire, having worked on clay, “painted” it in his own way and manner, and the man only helped them all, he "allowed".
The master's stove (like the Japanese) is considered a living being. She is being fed rice, pour over sake, perform a group prayer before firing. The oven is working together with the artist and should be respected.
Gennady Dvorkin is one of the artists who revives and continues the work of masters antiquity and works with wood-burning stoves, as with a living instrument with which special contact is needed. The product turns out surprisingly organic and close nature, it feels the hand of the master and his direct work and attention. Does the item invite you to touch it with your whole hand—or just just fingers, or maybe asking you to stay away from him. There are somethings that should be looked at from a distance, and not fiddled with in your hands.
