Arlene Shechet (born 1951, New York) is an American artist. She lives and works in New York and Woodstock, New York. ==Work== Shechet's early work was influenced by Buddhism, evident in the way it exhibited states of transformation and Buddhist subject matter. In the early '90s, Shechet made a series of plaster sculptures. The lumpy works, supported by industrial and found objects, and incorporating Buddhist iconography, evolved into a family of Buddhas. In 1996 Shechet was invited to work at the Dieu Donné Papermill in New York. During her residency she created handmade, paper blueprints of stupas as well as paper vessels. Shechet continues to work with paper, implementing a hybrid approach by manipulating paper pulp in a similar fashion to clay. Her recent body of colorful paper works, completed in 2012, reveal her commitment to materials and the mold. Her fascination with materials extends to clay, for which she is primarily know and has received wide recognition. Over the last decade, Shechet has worked prolifically with clay, creating an impressive body of work and pushing the boundaries of the material. From 2012 to 2013, Shechet held a residency at the Meissen Porcelain Manufactory in Germany, where she made experimental sculptures alongside factory employees making traditional porcelain work. Her time there yielded a new body of work which was installed by Shechet at the RISD Museum, Providence in 2014. In 2013 for ''The New York Times'', Roberta Smith described Shechet's work as combining painting and sculpture "with exuberant polymorphous, often comic results," and noted the variety of glazed surfaces on the vessels in her exhibition, "Slip," at Sikkema Jenkins & Co. In ''The New Yorker'', Peter Schjeldahl compared the work in this same exhibition to those of the ceramic artist and printmaker Ken Price.〔http://www.newyorker.com/goings-on-about-town/art/arlene-shechet-6〕 Shechet has also cited references as diverse as Elie Nadelman, Sophie Taeuber-Arp, Jim Nutt, and Umberto Boccioni〔http://www.sikkemajenkinsco.com/?v=exhibition&exhibition=521bbf057a1fb〕 Shechet is represented by (Sikkema Jenkins & Co. ) in New York. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Arlene Shechet」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
