Author: De Othello, Woody
Woody De Othello finds inspiration for his paintings and ceramics by adapting a position of porousness to the things around him. Through his adroit interventions, everyday artefacts of the domestic – tables, chairs, television remotes, telephone receivers, lamps and air purifiers – are anthropomorphised in glazed ceramic, bronze, wood and glass. The result is often tubular, drooping and coated in vibrant reds, purples and magnetic blacks, imbued with the subterranean futurity of jazz.Fittingly, this catalogue, published following the eponymous solo exhibition in New York, is titled after jazz musician Grant Green’s 1971 tune. The new body of ceramic works in Maybe Tomorrow brim with spiritual charge; the domestic objects are treated as repositories of psychic significance. The catalog explores this thematic wellspring, along with other topics, in an essay by Jason R. Young, as well as in two conversations with the artist.
ISBN 9781949172966. Karma Books, New York. pb. 112 pages. 75 colour ills. 29.2 x 24.8 cm.
