Karen Choy’s ceramic sculptures enchant, drawing on elements from the Chinese history of ceramic wares and their nation’s cultural development, to provide appealing snapshots of animal fables and folklore. They showcase stunning colours, shiny glazes and bear motifs gleaned from historical, floral and fauna sources and they bring both beauty and pleasure
Clearly influenced by the Tang dynasty her ceramic sculptures provide a nod to both her Chinese and Australian heritage, drawing on a number of children’s books from Australia, America and the UK as sources of inspiration
Currently based in Germany, Karen was born in 1981 in Sydney where she completed her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Ceramics at The National Art School in 2005. She has been exhibiting with Robin Gibson Gallery since graduating
