The Echo of the Ancient-Xiong Kaibo’s Potteries

Xiong Kaibo is a young ceramist in China, whose ceramic works are credited as “the echoes of the ancient and the melody of the contemporary” by Chauncey J. Hamlin, a noted Chinese artist. The ceramic works of Xiong Kaibo give the viewer a strong sense of artistic tension, conveying the simple and unadorned feature of painted pottery, and the mellow and dignified features of bronze. He takes ceramics as his words to illustrate the profound and free-wheeling history of Chinese culture.
