ANTONIO BONALDI
He attended the Istituto d'Arte De Fabris in Nove where he obtained the diploma of Maestro d'Arte Ceramica in 1984.He then dedicated himself to the study of the potter's wheel and opened his own studio in 1986 in Bassano del Grappa, where he still makes his ceramic works. Obsession for matter and its limits, surfaces, textures. Conscious avoiding to view shapes as starting points for decoration, but rather considering clay for its own surface, colour, shaping and firing marks. High temperature wood firing relieves the ceramic artist of any responsibility for decoration that may ruin a shape which, in and of itself, is just right. The logical consequence of this attitude of choice is to create vases with eyes shut, literally without looking, so that the potter's hands and their sensitivity alone are left in charge of any esthetic judgement that is then completed by the firing process.
