ARTIST STATEMENT
Waldemar Kirpichnikov is a Sydney-based visual artist who works in the ceramic medium and creates unusually shaped objects through the process of hand-building. These objects are abstract, yet some may allude to functional ceramics, resembling vases, pots, or plates. Waldemar’s work is informed by the natural environment and carries a reference to an abundance of asymmetrical forms and a variety of textured surfaces found in nature. Working with the sculptures’ exterior, Waldemar experiments with and combines different materials such as slips, clays, underglazes, special effect glazes, lacquer, and metal powders – this adds visual complexity to the works. The making of each piece involves multiple stages and firings, and it often takes months before the object acquires its final appearance.

Continue readingHarvey Galleries was founded by the Harvey family in 1994 with an eye to establish a dynamic and inclusive contemporary art space on the North Shore of Sydney. For almost three decades we have expanded our reach to over three gallery locations and an ever expanding stable of the best artists Australia has to offer.
Harvey Galleries acknowledges the traditional custodians of the lands upon which our galleries stand. The Guringai people (Seaforth), the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation (Sydney), and the Bunurong Boon Wurrung and Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung peoples of the Eastern Kulin Nation (Melbourne).
We pay our respect to Elders past and present.
