Peter Lange (New Zealand)
Peter Lange, creator of the world first brick
boat and a leading figure in the craft/object art sector, has been awarded by
Creative New Zealand Craft/Object Art Fellowship this year.
Peter Lange has worked in ceramics for more
than 30 years and has been director of Auckland Studio Potters Center since
1997.  He changes his approach to
clay all the time.  Thirty years
ago he started working in the “Leach” tradition throwing high-fired
domestic-ware, but has at times embraced earthenware, slip-casting,
salt-glazing, brick sculpture, and experimental kiln-firings.  He enjoys illusion, irony and the
unexpect
ed?
Peter Lange has worked, taught and exhibited
in New Zealand and throughout the world. 
Highlights in recent years include being an official demonstrator at the
2002 Aomori Wood-fire Festival in Japan, and being selected to take part in a
terracotta and brick symposium in Eskisehir, Turkey in 2003.  In 1997, he taught at the Dubai Art Center
in the United Arab Emirates.
Peter Lange has twice received the Merit Award
at the Fletcher Challenge Art Award in 1985 and 1986.  His work features in a number of collections, including in
the Auckland Museum, Christchurch Art Gallery, the Beehive, Suzhou School of
Art and Zhengzhou Art School in China, and the Aberystwyth Arts Center in
Wales.

“The
work I am currently creating stems from a long time fascination with the
teapot. When I began working in clay in 2008, all I wished to create
was an aesthetically pleasing and well functioning vessel for tea.
However, this form proved too challenging, and in frustration I set it
aside. Only recently (and after a number of years learning to work with
clay) have I began to readdress the teapot, and pouring vessels in
general.”

The Teapot Redefined Premiere 2012

Please join us at Mobilia Gallery to meet the artists and view this extraordinary collection of sculptural and functional teapot forms.

The teapot is an enduring symbol of hospitality throughout
the world, and exploring the sculptural teapot form has been a source of
inspiration for artisans throughout history. For The Teapot Redefined,
we have invited a variety of artists working in diverse media such as
paper, glass, wood, metal, beads, ceramic and textiles to add their own
unique interpretation of the teapot form.
