Australian Design Centre is delighted to present TILED in collaboration with kil.n.it Experimental Ceramics Studio.
Valued for the enduring properties of their clays and glazes, ceramic tiles are one of the oldest universal forms of decorative art. Today, tiles are used extensively in contemporary architecture and interiors.
The 17 studio artists use the tile as a canvas for exploration and experimentation. Each artist has brought their own style and technique to create a diverse response in TILED.
Some artists have focused on traditional flat tiles, using intricate designs and patterns to create visually stunning pieces. Others have taken a more organic approach, creating tiles that resemble slabs of clay or sculptural reliefs. This variety showcases the versatility of ceramics as an art form and a form of interior decoration.
The inclusion of the 'test tile' in this exhibition is a nod to the artistic process of ceramic artists. These small, often discarded, pieces represent the journey of discovery and experimentation that is essential to the creation of ceramic art. They demonstrate the artist's commitment to constantly pushing the boundaries of their materials and techniques.
