Monte Clark is pleased to announce an exhibition of new sculptures by Gailan Ngan. On view are hand-built ceramics and 3D printed forms, each an expression of intention meets chance, embracing organic imperfections and poetic irregularities.

Gailan Ngan’s material based practice is largely influenced by the historically resource-rich West Coast, where she lives and works. She is recognized for her experimental approach to the ceramic medium, crafting vessels and forms that are both functional and abstract. She relies on her characteristic sense of line, texture and colour to articulate layered intricacies and optical qualities. This latest body of work presents a large-scale exploration of Ngan’s Blob ceramic forms, each with distinctive patterning and decorative elements. Ngan worked closely with a digital studio to scan and produce 3D-printed variations of her signature forms in rich vibrant hues, maintaining the intricate details and textures of the original ceramic work.

 

Gailan Ngan (b. 1971, Cumberland, BC) works and lives in Vancouver and occasionally works from Hornby Island, BC. Her practice involves pottery, sculpture and co-managing her late father, Wayne Ngan’s art estate. Her work has been exhibited at numerous institutions including Esker Foundation (Calgary), Vancouver Art Gallery, San Diego Art Institute, Nanaimo Art Gallery, Kamloops Art Gallery and Art Gallery at Evergreen. She received her BFA from Emily Carr University in 2002. Ngan is the recipient of the 2015 North West Ceramic Foundation Award.
