2021臺灣陶藝獎 卓越獎得主 徐永旭 完整版影片 The Taiwan Ceramics Awards 2021 The Excellence Award HSU Yung-Hsu

首屆卓越獎得主為徐永旭，本次將展出共計47(組)件作品，回顧這一路來的創作歷程與轉變。43歲時辭去教職步上專職陶藝創作之路，身體承受長期苦痛的他認為「要在身體被病魔吞噬前，發揮生命的最大張力。」在30餘年的陶藝創作裡，由單一物件逐漸擴展成與空間對話的大型作品，以土條走形，不斷以手指按、揑、擠、推，反覆堆疊陶土，身體的勞動注入個人的情感和汗水，直接烙印在作品上，考驗體力、技術與燒窯條件，用陶土築出巨大的造形，顛覆大家對陶藝表現的刻板想像，令人嘆為觀止。
Our first Excellence Award winner HSU Yung-Hsu will be showing 47 pieces (set) of his artworks that recalls his ceramic journey. HSU started his career as ceramic artist at the age of 43, as he attempts to “expand the scope of life before his body is engulfed by illness,” this motivation to create stems from the long term pain that he suffers from. For more than 30 years, his practice has evolved from single objects to installations that create dialogues with space, he applies pinching and coiling techniques that requires a high investment of labor and personal feelings in his work. His large scale sculptures surpasses the challenges the body, technique, and firing limitations which overturns our narrow vision of ceramic art.
