Rudy Autio

Rudy Autio is considered a pillar of contemporary ceramics. The way that he constructs and shapes his vessels is distinctive and a hallmark of his production. After building up a hollow ceramic cylinder, he adds rounded projections that extend the vessel’s curvilinear surface. Nude female figures applied in glaze float across the surface. Evident in the subject matter is the influence of the abstract and curving nude figures of Henri Matisse.
