In his solo exhibition, at Sherry Leedy Contemporary Art, John Balistreri presents two bodies of work that are in conversation. Known as a master of ceramics and expert in the ancient art of firing a traditional wood kiln, Balistreri presents his signature ceramic sculpture, lush with wood ash glaze and architectural form. In the gallery installation, the sculpture is in dialogue with energetic paintings full of the push and pull of visual tension.
