Kiln Brothers:Glass and Ceramic Art of New Taipei City and Hsinchu City
Content：
This exhibition is the interaction between arts of New Taipei City and Hsinchu City. In the glass section, we explore the wide range of artistic expressions in glass, beginning with techniques, to see how glass artists create glass vessels both practical and culturally rich, with refined mastery. For the ceramics section, we focus on glazing expressions of ceramic art and explore how ceramic artists utilize the glassy element of glaze, inspired by modern art, to break new ground in merging Eastern and Western glazing styles. This exhibition is made possible by Glass Museum of Hsinchu City, who provided us with glass art works. We are also grateful for the ceramic artists of New Taipei City who offered their art works. Moreover, we thank Professor Hsiao Ming-tun, Chair of National Tsing Hua University Department of Arts and Design and Professor Liou Chen-chou of National Taiwan University of Arts Department of Crafts and Design, whose research gave us insight into the techniques of glass and ceramic arts, enhancing our appreciation of the works and of the interesting relationship between glass and ceramics.
