Baimuqian - Xin Tao Garden Introduction
Since childhood, the boy who loved playing in the mud started as an apprentice in a ceramic factory at the age of sixteen. From making pots, flower vases, dinnerware, to tea sets, his works are now widely circulated and collected, becoming objects of exhibition in civic and cultural art centers. He has even received recognition with numerous awards, including the Golden Ceramics Award, the National Crafts Award, and the National Traditional Crafts Award. After forty years, the silent man met the unspoken clay, creating a world filled with emotions. Bai Muquan, true to his name, speaks few words and possesses a simple character, yet his works reveal the humorous, gentle, and sentimental soul hidden within. Starting with hand-built pipe clay, presenting a matte glaze finish, and expressing the rich artistic connotation through the plain essence of clay; behind the rounded lines and exaggerated proportions lies the intention to lead people to glimpse the "clay" source of the creator's heart. If you still ask, what is the Peach Blossom Spring? Or you may see a youthful boy with an innocent heart smiling and winking at you. "People on the boat, the boat on the water, the water in the endless, the endless in the moment of my rise and fall of sorrow and joy."
