About the Item

Irina Lakshin is a Russian sculptor, born and raised in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, the capital of Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia. Before moving to the United States, she completed her Master’s in economics from the All-Russian Academy of Foreign Trade and began her early career in banking. Upon her move to the United States in 2009, Irina began taking pottery classes for fun, where her hobby blossomed into a passion. For several years, she studied with various ceramic masters. She perfected her skills in both hand-building and wheel-throwing, among many techniques. By 2012, Irina decided to turn her passion into a lifestyle by becoming a professional artist; her work can now be seen in various galleries and private art collections. In 2018, Irina achieved her Certificate of Fine Art from the New York Academy of Art, followed by a Master’s degree in sculpture in 2021. Irina’s work ranges in both material and technique, as she sculpts with stoneware, porcelain, and terracotta, and uses different types of glazing and firing throughout her work. Her contemporary work references the classics, while manifesting itself in the form of vessels, figurative, and pop-art sculptures. Irina’s latest project from 2020 is a series of sculptures called “Mishka”. The sculpted bears in this series represent avatars, to depict people, life situations, emotions, and funny narratives. About the artwork: "Let’s play like children. The biggest difference between them and adults is their imagination and fantasy without boundaries. When they play, they imbue their toys with their own qualities and that of who surrounds them. I wanted to play this game too; and I chose to play with a bear named Mishka. The type of toy everyone is familiar with— Mishka inspires empathy which bridges to the audience. My goal is to craft a universal message that appeals to all, and is communicated through my prism view of this world and this life."

  • Contemporary, Geometric, Ceramic, Vessel, Sculpture, Stoneware, Glaze, Design
    By Judith Ernst
    Located in St. Louis, MO
    Originally from the Northwest with a B.A. from Stanford University, I have painted, published illuminated books, and lived and traveled extensively in Asia. Now working primarily in ceramics, I draw images from the deep well of past experience, always starting from a strong “mind’s eye” vision. My ceramic pieces are as much about their inside as they are about their sculpted outside. Implied are the dichotomies between the inner and outer, between that which is hidden and that which is seen, between the esoteric and the exoteric, between the soul and the body. I continue to create “Metaphysical Pots” that feature water both inside and outside, becoming metaphorically both the Water of Life and the Infinite Ocean, symbolizing the continuous process between creation and transcendence. Other pieces include shapes that repeat in a pattern that follows the form of the vessel. It is a “bio-geometry” that leads the eye back to the inside of the vessel, a “Jacob’s Ladder” that leads not just up but in. Using sculptural techniques, I cut through the wall of the pot to get more depth and dynamic movement. I continue to push the limits of my medium, taking apart thrown vessels and reconfiguring them in new ways. Outcroppings 02, Repeating Geometric Ceramic Vessel...
