WORKSHOP

with
PAUL MATHIEU
February 16 & 17, 1991
at
Emily Carr College of Art & Design
Ceramic Dept, 1399 Johnston St.
Granville Island, Vancouver

Mathieu, an innovative Québec ceramic
artist and a winner of the 1990 National
Ceramics Biennial, will give a two-day
weekend workshop in February for
ECCAD and the Guild.

Best known for his pieces incorporating
stacked dishes unified by overlapping
painted Images, Mathieu is inspired by
Québec folklore and landscape, relig-
lon, sexuality, and dinnerware, About
him, editer and critic Michael McTwigan
states, “His work ... ts al once ceramic.
painting, and sculpture combined into a
new genre. Mathieu, and many of his
young peers, refiises to be classified by
genre or medium. Mathieu and his kind
are leading ceramics into unknown ter-
ritory; the journey promises to be ex-
hilarating.“

Mathteu, however, feels his work does
not refer to other art forms, but rather it
“Is solely anc entirely ceramic”, and that
ceramics historically ta comprised of
varlous genres. He belleves the mixing
of media and the synthesizing of ele-
ments and imagery in contemporary art
is not new, when viewed within the con-
text of the functioning of ceramics.
