and high firing in a gas kiln.

Victor Cicansky (Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada)
http://www.cicansky.ca
Distinctly irreverent at times, Victor Cicansky's ceramic sculpture is modelled
with consummate artistry.
Select "Selected Works", "Murals and Public Art", and "Current Pieces"
then click on any thumbnail to go to enlargements.
It should be noted that although a major part of the Cicansky opus is ceramic,
the artist does extremely strong work in bronze and mixed media sculpture.
Victor Cicansky is also represented at the Galerie deBellefeuille (Westmount,
Quebec, Canada) (Montreal)

Karen Koblitz (USA) (Studied in Deruta, Italy)

Categories of work: Still Life, Public Art, Judaica.
Bright and colourful and socially concerned work that is strongly designed.
"In my work I pay homage to the functional roots of ceramics while elaborating on
historical and decorative elements."
Enjoy!
