Shaman

Earthenware clay with crystalline glaze, matte slips, decorated with drawn and stamped images

Courtesy of the artist
Louis Mendez is best known for largely figurative ceramic sculptures inspired by a consistent esthetic allied to both the ancient origins of cultures and a modernist treatment of forms and surfaces. His work appeals to an engaging sense of myth and an enigmatic playfulness within the context of historic ceramic styles. An acknowledged master of his medium, his awards included a Louis Comfort Tiffany grant for the design and development of large-scale ceramic art in architecture (1964), The Carlton Atherton Memorial Award from the Columbus Gallery of Fine Art (1966), The Skillbecks Purchase Award at Springfest in Charlotte, NC (1985), First Prize for Sculpture from the Bruce Museum (1998), an Audubon Artist's Society award for sculpture (1999), and a Lorenzo il Magnifico award for sculpture at the 2001 Florence Biennale.
