A ceramic invitational exhibition that boasts trending innovations in contemporary ceramics.

This group invitation features work from Crystal Morey, Peter Olson, Kyungmin Park, Zemer Peled, Chris Ricardo and Cheryl Ann Thomas.

With motivations beyond pure form and function, the selected artists fuse contemporary aesthetics with a traditional art form. The clay bodies act more as canvases for further creative exploration through a multidisciplinary approach. We have a diverse and eclectic group of top tier talent, with each artist offering their unique voice and vision to the collective history of ceramics. The manifestations of this creative vision expresses itself in many ways; whether it be the photographic ceramic hybrid masterpieces of Peter Olson, or the organic work of Zemer Peled that evokes the sublime of nature. Challenging the traditional and established view of ceramics, the second installment of CeramATTACK offers a collection of works that allow the viewer to explore both narrative and form in a myriad of imaginative and unconventional approaches that both provoke and inspire.

This show, which runs through Oct. 14, opens with a free reception from 5-8 p.m. Friday, Sept. 8. For gallery hours, visit www.duanereedgallery.com.
