"Burning Bush"

Ceramic Teapot

Created by Michael Torre
Sculptural teapot made of unglazed red clay. Rather than use bright colored glazes to embellish and distract, the artist leaves the red clay unadorned and entices the viewer to focus on and revel in the rhythmic power between natural and human forms.

Special Information:
Michael Monroe's critique: "Exploring the contradiction between the hard tough surfaces of clay and the soft sensual fluid form it evokes, ceramist Michael Torre finds inspiration for his work from disparate sources - Renaissance paintings, music and dance from various periods of history. Torre's Burning Bush is visual evidence of this artist's goal to design and create strong imagery derived from religious, spiritual or natural powers."

About this Artist

Michael Torre

"Whenever I am at a loss for ideas, I look to the great masters--particularly the Flemish painters of the Renaissance. The surviving work of these artists is primarily spiritual or religious in nature, and the concept of designing images with spiritual power is always a goal."

Michael Torre listens to music while working, taking in one of two art forms that are the primary influences on his work. The other is dance, and he strives to work dance motifs and movement into most of his pieces.

Having lived in three countries and several states, Torre's career took him from engineer and coal miner to potter, then artist. He now also teaches art, and finds in his students an ongoing source of inspiration.
