HISTORY

Over the the last 30 years, Bobby Silverman has become one of the foremost contemporary artists and designers working in ceramics.

Originally trained in Japan with the Master Potter Samejima Saturo, Silverman continued his undergraduate studies at the Kansas City Art Institute and received his Master of Fine Arts from Alfred University in 1983.Since then, he has taught and directed several university programs including the #5 ranked graduate program at Louisiana State University.

He has exhibited internationally and his work is included in the collections of the European Ceramic Work Center in the Netherlands,the Museum of Art and Design, NY, and the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art Museum,Washington, DC . He is represented by Bentley Gallery, Phoenix/Scottsdale, AZ, Harvey Meadows Gallery, Aspen,CO and Sherry Leedy Contemporary Art, Kansas City, MO.

ALSIO DESIGN (ALumina, SIlica, OXygen; the materials that are the basis of clay) grew out of Silvermans’ artistic practice as his collaborations with architects and designers became more frequent.

Braille Translation of “Water” by Pablo Neruda — “Everything on the earth bristled, the bramble pricked and the green thread nibbled away, the petal fell, falling until the only flower was the falling itself. Water is another matter, has no direction but its own bright grace, runs through all imaginable colors, takes limpid lessons from stone, and in those functionings plays out the unrealized ambitions of the foam.”
