MANNINGHAM ART GALLERY PRESENTS
‘Ted Secombe: Pursuit of Beauty’
Wednesday 2 March –Thursday 24 March
This March, Manningham Art Gallery presents a selection of ceramic work by one of Australia’s leading ceramic artists, Ted Secombe. Secombe’s pieces are meticulously crafted, simple and elegant in form. His dynamic glazed surfaces have seen him develop an international reputation for distinctive style and expertise in crystalline glazes.
In recent years, Secombe has moved beyond the perfectionism he pursued in his earlier work by experimenting with glazes that produce more unpredictable finishes and surfaces. His newest pieces reflect a fascination with the natural world while maintaining the unique and undeniable beauty that marks his work.
Charting this progression, Pursuit of Beauty will present recent ceramic pieces alongside works from throughout his career, now in various private collections. The exhibition will also present a number of new sculptural works that reveal further depth to his practice.
Ted Secombe is represented by Skepsi Gallery.
