Robert Archambeau \/ Wood-fired Treasures: ceramics<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Robert Archambeau describes his work with clay as “a distillation of the magic and mystery” that surrounds him. When pressed, the Manitoba artist reluctantly shares the credit for his creativity with his rugged and natural environment in the Canadian Shield.<\/p>\n

At their “best,” Archambeau says of his wood-fired ceramics, they are “serene, rich in detail, detached from the mundane and timeless.” Many would argue he regularly reaches that superlative in the elegant simplicity of his monolithic vessel-form creations.<\/p>\n

A true original, Archambeau is admired around the world as a master in his field and celebrated in Canada as a legend in ceramics. In 2003, he became the first Manitoban to win the prestigious Governor General’s Award in Visual and Media Arts. “While functional and strongly rooted in their earthly origins,” said the jury citation, “his ceramic pieces achieve a quiet serenity of breathtaking and timeless beauty.” Christopher Guly<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
