Gustavo Pérez is considered Mexico’s leading contemporary ceramic artist, whose aim has always been to create forms that serve as three-dimensional canvases, with sophisticated surface treatments that transcends simple patterning bringing his work into the realm of the sculptural object alongside showing influence of ancestral traditions of Asia and Meso-America.
Pérez’s ceramics have now achieved international recognition and were the subject of a major retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art in Mexico City. His work is represented worldwide, including the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, The Museum of Contemporary Ceramic Art, Shiga, Japan; The Museum of Fine Arts, Quebec, Canada and Keramikmuseum Westerwald, Hohr-Grenzhausen, Germany.
