An ever growing number of artists have kept contemporary ceramics as a wide open, hybrid field. That spirit of intrepid individuality in ceramics is articulated best by Jose Joya. From 1974 to 1979, Joya did work in a variety of forms including ceramic designs. Joya began treating porcelain like canvas and glaze like paint. The adventurous artist in Joya took ceramics in his own hands and breathed new life into traditional design.
