Seller's Notes:Large Michael Gustavson "Spring Garden" Raku Pottery Sculpture Vessel Titled Spring Garden. Signed towards base. Resembles a torso. Michael Gustavson graduated from San Jose State University with a Masters Of Fine Arts. Since then he has been a full time professional Artist. His works of art have been collected throughout the world. You will find his art pieces in major corporations such as: IBM, Kaiser Permanente, Seagate, Cranbrook University, Eastman Kodak, Mcdonalds Corporation, and SAS Headquaters. On an individual level, private collectors from every corner of the globe have collected Michael's work over the years, many returning to obtain new works. Michael's work is very unique in that he uses the traditional process of Raku and has expanded it by way of his own technique. The glazes he uses are textural and often appeal to one's senses, causing the viewers to immediately want to touch the work. This comes as no surprise to Michael as he always emphasizes surface quality and texture. The vessels are thrown on the wheel and then hand stretched to create a sense of the human figure. Each vessel gives the appearance of a torso having no head, but having the grace of a dancer. Truly these works are exciting to touch, look at, and admire! Measures 26" wide, 20" deep and 32" tall.
