Maxwell Mustardo’s Fluorescing Ceramics Merge Ancient Craft with Contemporary Style — Colossal
SHARE

Maxwell Mustardo, a New Jersey-based artist, is known for his unique ceramic works that merge cartoonish figures, fluorescent pigments, and classical vessels. His series, Anthropophorae and Gadroons, exude personality and charm. Drawing inspiration from ancient forms like amphorae, kraters, and gadrooning, Mustardo creates pieces that celebrate tapered shapes in a contemporary context.

In Mustardo’s own words, “Searching for new forms is mostly rediscovering old forms.” He finds joy in the evolution of surfaces and forms through the exchange of ideas between individuals, studios, cultures, and time periods. By exploring archetypal shapes such as mugs, bottles, and mathematical forms like the torus, Mustardo delves into the intricate relationships between geometry, material, history, and utility. Each form provides a set of constraints that he can manipulate and a rich tapestry of references to explore.

Currently working in the studio of the late Toshiko Takaezu, Mustardo is involved in establishing a residency program for ceramists, fiber artists, and painters. His work can be viewed on his website.

Mustardo’s ceramic vessels, ranging from bright orange amphorae to abstract blue and white kraters, are a testament to his creative vision. The pieces exude a sense of vitality and playfulness, with some featuring neon-colored glazes that give them a glowing effect. The artist’s attention to detail is evident in the intricate textures and shapes of each vessel, showcasing his skill and craftsmanship.

In an installation titled ‘Quasi-Neoclassical-ish’ at Odem Atelier, Mustardo’s ceramic vessels are displayed on white pedestals against a dark background, creating a dramatic visual impact. The artist’s studio is filled with large unglazed vessels, showcasing the breadth of his creative output.

Mustardo’s work is a vibrant fusion of ancient forms and contemporary aesthetics, inviting viewers to reconsider the boundaries of traditional ceramics. With a keen eye for detail and a playful approach to form and color, Mustardo continues to push the boundaries of ceramic art, creating pieces that are both visually striking and conceptually rich.
