Meet the artist, see the show, and enjoy refreshments at the museum!
John Toki is known for his monumental, abstract, totem-like sculptures that reference landscapes. Often they resemble a slice of earth exposing the layers of our planet, or perhaps a Californian fault line. Although some of his works weigh more than 1,000 pounds, Toki’s eye for detail is evident throughout, seen in his careful handling of surface textures and subtle color variation. His large-scale ceramic sculptures and public art projects are installed at the Oakland City Hall, Oakland Museum of California, the California Shakespeare Theatre, and the American Museum of Ceramic Art.
Our thanks to Laguna Clay Company, Los Angeles County Art Commission, Mission Clay Products, and Russ McClure for their support of this show!
