Etienne Pottier

Étienne Pottier is drawn to the surprising, unpredictable character of ceramics, and his works are, perhaps by consequence, fantastical. The universe he creates is one of legends and contemporary myth, in which symbols, as well as their juxtaposition one to another, becomes key. Common objects are portrayed with a kind of dark reverence, and everything from masks and snakes, to wildflowers and branches, are entangled in his sinuous, cohesive compositions.
