ARTIST RESEARCH - Rudy Autio -- Ceramics


Rudy Autio is a multi-media artist, he sculpts, paints, and draws. Looking at his sculptures i noticed how unique they are. They are an amalgam of classic technique and modern imagery. Most of the sculpted shapes are simple and geometric, but when he paints over them they become more detailed looking, almost as if he had sculpted them in a different way.

The piece "Vortex" (right) is a good example of his style of work. A simple, symmetrical shape, covered in a complicated painting.

The piece "Curiosa" (left) is another good example of his style. A similar shape to "Vortex" both paintings feature a person and a horse. This piece is much less chaotic, but has a sense of movement to it that i like a lot.











Autio has a website that features all his works, not just ceramics, that i would recommend taking a look at if you are interested in seeing what his other pieces look like.
