Roger Herman Small Blond Face, Red Lips

Los Angeles-based Roger Herman is recognised as a West Coast parallel of the 1980s neo-Expressionist movement. His thrown clay pieces transcend traditional ceramic design techniques, featuring bold, painterly gestures. Featuring a human face reduced to basic, abstract elements, the work Small Blond Face, Red Lips reflects how the artist operates with a controlled naivety and relying more on intuition than discipline.
