Water, Milk, Wine, Blood: Gary Komarin: A Study of Vessels.
View through Artsy
“All cultures have had to find ways to transport water and other fluids from one location to another—water, milk, wine, blood—for practical and ceremonial reasons. I have long been fascinated by the structures and shapes of these traditional objects, particularly those of the most humble and demure variety. An early Egyptian, Mayan, or Greek vessel has great poise and stature. Painting vessels is a very plastic activity—it has allowed me a great deal of playful variation.”
