Among them are works by LOEWE Foundation Craft Prize finalists, including the curvaceous, wave-like ceramic forms of Takayuki Sakiyama, evoking the power of the sea. The world’s oceans also provide inspiration for artists including Martha Pachon Rodriguez, who takes cues from sea urchins for her ceramic sculptures, and Helen O’Shea, an artist who turns plastic washed up on beaches into ethereal, sea creature-like forms covered in delicate scales.
UK galleries including Cavaliero Finn, Cube Gallery, Cynthia Corbett Gallery and Jaggedart will be showing their artists’ work, alongside international exhibitors such as Lloyd Choi Gallery, which specialises in Korean craft. The impressive roll call of makers represented ranges from leading lights (past and present), such as Emmanuel Cooper and Jacqueline Poncelet, to emerging talents.
