Gary Dipasquale

Gary DiPasquale is an American artist based in New York City known for his exceptional craftsmanship and innovative designs that he has dedicated to ceramics for the last 40 years.
“For many years I have been steadily involved with the vase and vessel form. Inspiration comes from the vast history of world ceramics. From very early on to our present times, Greek, Roman, Chinese vessels, Art Deco and African artifacts have all contributed to my pottery
and designs. Nature’s textures such as tree bark, plants, rocks, minerals and the colors of earth now inform and influence my work. “

Gary DiPasquale is an American artist based in New York City known for his exceptional craftsmanship and innovative designs that he has dedicated to ceramics for the last 40 years.
“For many years I have been steadily involved with the vase and vessel form. Inspiration comes from the vast history of world ceramics. From very early on to our present times, Greek, Roman, Chinese vessels, Art Deco and African artifacts have all contributed to my pottery
and designs. Nature’s textures such as tree bark, plants, rocks, minerals and the colors of earth now inform and influence my work. “
DiPasquales vessels are hand-built using various slab-constructed techniques or they are thrown on the potter's wheel. These vessels incorporate colored clay slips that are brushed on for first firing and then glazes are brushed, poured or glaze trailed on in several layers on the forms. There is a strong focus on the surface design with an ongoing experimentation with glazes, studying test tiles, and investigating a soothing pattern.
“I use the minerals copper, manganese and iron oxide for achieving color, depth and a textured surface that will sometimes give a sparkle and shine to the work.” Throughout the years, DiPasquale’s style has kept exploring intriguing unusual organic forms, where function and classicism meet. As DiPasquale states “ The work is based on function but is decorative. I don’t really consider the functional-ness of a piece. Like completing a painting, or sculpture, I concentrate on the form, the texture and the color.”
Gary DiPasquale has exhibited throughout the United States over 70 times, and is represented in the collections of The Metropolitan Museum of Art New York, The Museum of Fine Arts Houston TX, Newark Museum Newark NJ, Stanley Museum of Art, Iowa City Iowa, and Allentown Art Museum PA.
