I enjoy Voulkos' work because it shows me that ceramic art doesn't always have to be clean and neat and pristine. His work reminds me that sometimes art can have a greater impact if it's fast, messy, gestural, and primal.

Peter Voulkos
Peter Voulkos was an American ceramic artist who helped pioneer the abstract expressionist movement in ceramic arts. His work often appears heavy, messy, and chaotic.
