"My own artistic background is familial. I
come from a locally-respected lineage of
"lady painters", art teachers, patrons, and
collectors on Maui, Hawai'i. As a child I was
surrounded by art, and the regular making of
art. My influences were equally European
and Asian, with a goodly dose of Pacific
Island. I grew up thinking that art was a
normal part of life"
Chris Nielsen's work is truly a combination of
function and style. His glazes are made from
his own recipes and when combined with
brushed slip they have a muted quality that
offer a clean, fine line and peaceful aesthetic.
"Ideas of classic form have existed in all
cultures. For tens of thousands of years,
human beings have reproduced lines and
shapes that are remarkably similar and
considered them mysteriously satisfying. The
cave paintings of Altamira and Lascaux,
Neolithic pottery of every continent, the
statuary and architecture of ancient
civilizations, even the form-dissolution and
reconstitution of modern abstract
expressionism all depend on or search from
the Platonic Idea of formal beauty."
Chris is happy to do commissioned work
within his own glaze palette and style. He
also offers customized dinnerware sets.
