Baimuquan - Heart Pottery Garden Introduction
Since childhood, the boy who loved playing with mud began as an apprentice in a pottery factory at the age of sixteen. From making flower pots, vases, tableware, to tea sets, his works are now widely circulated and collected, becoming coveted pieces showcased in both public and private cultural and art centers. Furthermore, he has received numerous accolades, including the Golden Ceramics Award, National Handicraft Award, Traditional Craft Award, and National Craft Award. After forty years, the silent man has encountered the voiceless clay, achieving a world full of emotions. Bai Muquan, true to his name, speaks little and possesses a simple personality, yet one can discover from his works a witty, tender soul deep within. Starting from hand-built pipe pottery, using mat glazes as a facade, and expressing the richest artistic meanings through the plain and unadorned essence of clay; behind the rounded lines and exaggerated proportions lies the goal of guiding people to glimpse the “clay” source in the creator's heart. If you still ask, what is the Peach Blossom Spring? Or you may see a youthful boy, unblemished by time, smiling and winking at you. "People are on the boat, the boat is on the water, the water is in the endless; the endless is in the momentary births and deaths of my joy and sorrow."
