Baimuquan - Heart Pottery Garden Introduction
Since childhood, a boy who loved playing with mud began his journey at the age of sixteen as an apprentice in a pottery factory. From making flower pots, vases, tableware, and tea sets, his works have now become widely known and collected, featured in public and private cultural centers and art exhibitions. He has also received numerous awards, including the Golden Ceramics Award, National Craft Award, and Traditional Craft Award, among others. After forty years, this silent man has encountered the voiceless clay, achieving a world full of emotions. Bai Muquan, true to his name, speaks little and has a humble personality; only through his works can one discover the humorous, gentle, and sensitive soul within. Starting with hand-formed pottery and characterized by a matte glaze, he expresses the richest meanings of art through the simple and unadorned essence of clay. Behind the rounded lines and exaggerated proportions lies a desire to lead the audience to glimpse the "flowery source" of the creator’s heart. If you still wonder what the Peach Blossom Spring is, or you might see a childlike boy smiling at you, winking. "People are on the boat, the boat is on the water, the water is on the endlessness, and the endlessness is in my momentary joys and sorrows."
