圖錄文章
A recurring theme in Lawson Oyekan’s work is the human experience. His ceramic vessels are often unglazed and pierced, the perforations allowing for the passage of light and air, simultaneously presenting as wounded and raw while symbolizing the act of breathing and persisting. In the artist’s own words: “My intent is to express human endurance and deliver a message of reassurance: that human suffering can be healed.” Oyekan’s work is in the permanent collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Victoria & Albert Museum, London.
