We are excited about Jackson Lee's second solo exhibition at our gallery. His first solo exhibit in October 2008 featured his series "New Imperial Wares," which modernized the grace and beauty of porcelain vessels used by the imperial families of dynastic China.
The upcoming exhibition features new "mingei" (folk art), Jackson's interpretation of the pottery of the people. These wares are earthy and rough, yet possess simple and functional aesthetics. Jackson attempts to reconnect us to ceramic wares and the role they play in the rhythm of our daily routines.
Jackson is also an award-winning documentary filmmaker and the co-founder of Sanbao, a ceramic art institute in Jingdezhen, Jiangxi province.
Opening reception: Saturday, November 21, 4:00 to 6:00 pm
