Richard Slee (born Carlisle, 1946) has built a reputation as one of Britain's most important contemporary ceramic artists. His work challenges conventional notions of ceramic art and demonstrates the fluid boundaries of 21st century ceramic practice. Slee';s work is celebrated as art and craft as he remains committed to craft processes and the domestic environment. Slee's one-off pieces demonstrate his peerless ability to create impeccable super shiny ceramics. His pieces flawlessly integrate sourced materials and readymades from DIY stores, toyshops and sports shops. Exhibition: Tullie House Museum, Carlisle, UK (16.6.-14.9.2014).
