Dans l'atelier de King Houndekpinkou

Épisode de Square Meters par The Room Projects · 24 mars 2020 · 17 min

🇬🇧🎙️

Square Meters takes you inside the artist studio of the ceramic artist King Houndekpinkou.

Born in Montreuil in 1987, King's childhood in the suburbs of Paris was greatly influenced by the Japanese pop culture of the 90s, which led him to develop a fascination for Japan during his teenage years. For King, ceramics stood as a revealing material of the spiritual bond existing between the West African and Japanese cultures. This epiphanic discovery changed the course of his life and after three years of training and self-taught practices, he decided to dedicate his life to ceramics as an artist.

Talking about his gold luster technique, his admiration for the legendary ceramic artist George Ohr [1857-1918], and the power of linage, King lets us peek into his creative mind.

This episode has been recorded in February 2020 at his Atelier located at PADAF, in the Southern suburbs of Paris, France.
