Ceramic Heads Re-stocked At the Compound Gallery

Ben Belknap - Ceramic Head
So I re-stocked the heads that have sold at the Compound Gallery.
See the earlier post for more info on them and their location.
Thanks again to Matt and Lena, the proprietors.
Also if anyone is looking for a studio they had 2 left that they were renting out as of Friday. They are really amazing artists who have done absolutely insane amounts of work making that place functional as well as beautiful.
Any how please stop by and see the art and in particular the heads.
Here is another one.

New Ceramic Lady

Ben Belknap - Ceramic sculpture

As you may have noticed I tend to make sculptures of men. This is because I am not too good at depicting ladies. In recent months I have slowly been working on improving in this department and the sculpture which you see is my most successful to date. It will likely be included in a larger sculpture, perhaps with a landscape, at some future date.

Just got back some of my ceramic heads





As I said I just got back these ceramic heads from the show at the Guerilla Cafe where they were in a show of ceramic sculpture.
I will post more of these ceramic heads as I just took a bunch of photos of the ones that were left from the show.

Shu-Hui Yang

My friend Hue has been procrastinating and has not sent me any pictures of her work.
However I remembered that I had a couple that she gave me a while ago for a different project.
This is a piece of her's that is made up of a bunch of heads strung together in three groups.
These are some of my favorate individual heads that she has made and one of my favorate pieces.






More of Hue's work as soon as I get it.
