Join Artist Gabby Malpas and ArtSHINE for a high tea as we celebrate the opening of Chinoiserie Reimagined, a ceramic art show
Come enjoy the art and meet Gabby in a relaxed and informal environment. We will be serving high tea.
About Gabby's ceramics:
I majored in ceramics at the Dunedin Art school, NZ in 1986.
As a Chinese adoptee raised by white parents, at that time all I wanted to do was be like everyone else. I flatly rejected Asian art while embracing the western art teachings of the time. I worked with colour on majolica glazes over terracotta, taking inspiration from Italian and Spanish ceramics.
For the next 35 years, I worked as a painter - working chiefly in liquid colours as a natural progression to glazes.
During COVID in 2020, I made a return to clay and this time I am embracing my heritage and have spent countless hours in museums and online, researching traditional Chinese shapes and motifs.
I currently work with white clays, with Chinese inspired designs painted freehand in Cobalt oxide. My forms are inspired by Chinese temple and altar vessels - adaptations of, rather than copies.
