Ron Meyers
Ron Meyers is one of the most influential artists and educators living in America today.
He's helped revitalize the American studio pottery, has brought about new sculptural
approaches and has singularly influenced several generations of young artists. Working
with red earthenware, Ron's functional pots are made in a casual and spontaneous manner
reflecting the juiciness of the material as well as the pleasure of the process. His
narrative, colored slip paintings of rats, fish, bats, rabbits, chickens, etc. that float
on the surface in a gestural expressionistic style can be both provocative and
confrontational.
