Simon ZSOLT JÓZSEF
Small black bud Vase 2018 Porcelaine H 10 x L 10 x P 15 cm Zsolt Jozsef Simon is a Hungarian ceramic artist who figuratively and literally needs movement to help his materials find their natural form in order to create his sculptures. Fresh from graduation his first submission to the prestigious International Ceramic Biennale of Korea earned an award. His work has continued to draw critical acclaim as his ideas, philosophical explorations and technical skill has seemed to leap forward with every new experiment and every exhibition. The technique Simon employs is an advanced development of slip casting. He intentionally lets the slip escape between the pieces of the mold. This enables him to create fascinating – some would ever say otherworldly – effects between the inside and outside of the objects that he makes. His command of his medium and material is such that he has already visualized the result before he initiates his process. That is not to say however that he is never surprised by the result when he examines the details after firing. Earth by some form of fast moving evolution. It is Darwin run amok or just revelations about the directions evolution, indeed all of life in the universe, can move? Simon has somehow managed to create natural forms that have never existed, yet which force us to think about a life forms and how they move through time and space.
