INTRODUCTION

Emmanuel Boos is a young ceramic artist.
He first discovered ceramics at 14 years of age, while studying at Gould Academy in the United States.
After many years of travel abroad (the United States, South Korea, China, Germany and Spain) where he discovered local techniques and styles, he gained his formal training, at the "Ecole du Cheval à l'Envers" in Paris and from 2000 to 2003 with Jean Girel (Master of Art, a title similar to that of the Living National Treasury Title in Japan, given by the French Ministry of Culture).
He currently lives and works in London where he is carrying out a research project (MPhil/PhD in Art and Design) at the Royal College of Art.

He creates one-off pieces, in stoneware or porcelain, glazed or unglazed, intended for the general public or ceramic collectors.
His work is based around several axes: materials, fluidity and accidents.
Materials: following the teachings of Jean-Girel, he makes his own clays and glazes, exploring both the ingredients as well as the physical and chemical phenomena at play in the creative process, the artist "setting back" from the matter.
Fluidity: working on the potter's wheel, the creation of his pieces is a fluid process that the artist likes to assimilate to surfing "almost motionless, seeking balance on a rolling wave, often losing it".
Accident: the works of Emmanuel Boos are not conceived out of a desire to dominate the world, but rather, to welcome the uncontrollable and unforeseeable, allowing hazard to play. The artist consequently does not passively submit to the unexpected, he chooses it.

His work is on permanent display at the gallery Jousse Entreprise and he works with the artistic agent be_attitude.
