His work addresses questions of origins, mixed cultures, and the diversity of the often contradictory cultural identities that make up the world. His inspiration is closely connected with his particular material, clay, which has so many significant ancestral implications for man. But the artist is as much involved with sculpting granite and wood . . . his consistent message concerns the physical strength and morality of the human being, and the revelation of \u2018the spirit of nature\u2019 (the title of a major solo exhibition dedicated to his work in the Maryland Institute College of Art, Baltimore, USA 2005). These themes are brought to life in the large organic works with their arching base or \u2018diaphragm\u2019, suggestive of breathing, containers that are wide open or else closed around a hollow interior. Their surfaces are often inscribed with words in English or in Yoruba, filled with scrawled marks and signs, pierced and scarred as if it were human skin, or like the stark drawing on a cave wall.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Concise Biography<\/strong><br \/>\n1961 Lawson Oyekan born in England Childhood in Nigeria<br \/>\n1983 Return to England to pursue an art education (after studying chemistry and then art in Ibadan, Nigeria)<br \/>\n1985\u20131988 BA degree in Ceramics at Central St Martins, London, (graduated with distinction)<br \/>\n1988-1990 Masters Degree in Ceramics at Royal College of Art, London; attained the Darwin Scholarship Award during his studies, in 1989.<br \/>\n1991 Fletcher Challenge Award of Merit, New Zealand, prize for excellence in international ceramic art<br \/>\n2001 First recipient of Grand Prix Award in the initial World Ceramic Biennale, Icheon, Korea.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Since then, he has exhibited regularly throughout the world and in the major institutions of contemporary art in Europe, in Korea, in Japan, in the United States . . His work is currently collected by major international museums. In understanding Lawson\u2019s work it is important to consider the artist\u2019s dual origins \u2013 being at the same time a Londoner and an African. His education has shaped in him an independent spirit, a taste for moving from place to place and transitory situations: he has never, for instance, had an established studio, preferring to make do with temporary studios wherever he travels, where the conditions or the human connections seem stimulating to him: he was working at one time in Denmark, then in the United States, then in Korea. At the moment he has one foot in the north of Great Britain, and the other in a new studio in France, at Ban de Sapt in the Vosges, drawn there by the possibilities of wood firing, and confirmed also by his great friendship with the acclaimed French sculptor-ceramist, Thi\u00e9baut Chagu\u00e9, long established in this area, at Taintrux . . . The choice of this way of living \u2018on the move\u2019 has continually enriched his creativity, he has never found it to be a problem or an insecurity, but sees it much more as \u2018positive exile\u2019 &#8211; a way of embracing the world in all its rich diversity, welcoming the whole.<\/p>\n<p>The installation for Gaydon, Heritage Motor Centre, Warwickshire.UK<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The artist is not yet as well known in France as he is abroad, even though one of his best known works, (from the series \u2018Body Undivided\u2019) was acquired by the Mus\u00e9e des Arts Decoratifs in Paris in 2011. In September 2010, he had been invited \u2013 with two other famous English ceramists, Magdalene Odundo and Richard Batterham \u2013 to exhibit at 19PaulFort, the huge Parisian house-gallery in which ceramics has a central place, but is always seen in relation to other contemporary or traditional forms of artistic expression. The encounter between Lawson Oyekan and the director of this original art location in the 14th arrondissement took place in 2007, a crucial year in which the sculptor had been commissioned by Aston Martin to make a series of powerful large scale terracotta sculptures for the grounds of their company head office in Great Britain. As part of the same project \u2018Aston Martin meets Art\u2019, these distinguished brand cars were photographed together with the works of significant international artists such as Norman Forster, Jean Nouvel, Lawrence Weiner, Anselm Keifer, Tony Cragg, Rebecca Horn, and, of course, in front of the grand terracotta monoliths of Lawson Oyekan, the only artist so far to have been selected to make a permanent installation of his work especially for Aston Martin. One could compare these great forms in the landscape to huge anthills made by a human hand, forms of intense power, even though their surfaces are torn open in a dynamic and febrile manner.<br \/>\nThe installation is called \u00ab\u00a0Physics Being, Healing Physics\u00a0\u00bb, which aptly sums up the essential preoccupations of the artist: the universal body, the scars of life, the desire for reconciliation and tranquility&#8230; This is how Lawson Oyekan himself expresses his search for wisdom, adventure and freedom: <em>\u201cMy work is the expression of my free-spirited humanity, uncompromising in the pursuit of excellence. I have been influenced since the 1960s, when I lived with my parents in Ibadan, by this environment filled with the different cultures of all the refugees, Rhodesians, South Africans, Ghanaians, Ethiopians . . . I can forever see the great ant nests of the Nigerian savannah of my childhood, with their subtleties and their poly-rhythmic ways of growing, which have contributed so much to my own artistic expression ( \u2026) Suffering is not a destiny. My intention is to express human resistance and to give an optimistic message. My art explores the physical drama bound to the complexity of nature. I often imagine this synthesis of human contradictions to be like a lava flow on the move, which spreads over the earth\u2019s crust and then erupts to become granite, sand and clay, the materials that will give form to the environment&#8230;\u201d<\/em><br \/>\nThe outstanding thing about Lawson Oyekan\u2019s sculptures certainly resides in their capacity to arouse a physical emotion in the viewer. The big jars in the \u2018Body Undivided\u2019 series, conceived during the 2000s, perfectly expressed this combination of strength and fragility, while highlighting his highly physical and original approach to technique: the artist starts with a small simple slab of clay which he throws on the floor and stamps it out, stretches it and covers it with iron oxide pigments, rolled or painted on with a brush. Then he stabs and scribbles over the surfaces vigorously, and brings these different \u2018patches of skin\u2019 together to build up a \u2018body\u2019 that is generous and open, whose thinly built walls are membranes that ring like a bell when one strikes them. . . . Regarding the most recent works, these include the Cocoons of white porcelain, or the Twin Forms on a wooden plinth, that are reminiscent of great ovoid \u2018heads\u2019, mysterious and secretive. Forms closed over, less punctured and disrupted than in previous works, they are also softer and more perfect, and radiate a rare and intense serenity.<br \/>\nThe opportunity to admire and to acquire these new works, made in Oyekan\u2019s current studio in the Vosges, is afforded once again by the gallery 19PaulFort in Paris, from 19thOctober to 8th November 2015, in an exhibition that is appropriately and unsurprisingly called \u00ab\u00a0Positive Exile\u201d. Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Bodet is the curator of the S\u00e8vres Museum specializing in contemporary ceramics. <em>(translation Alison Britton)<\/em><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">&#8211;0&#8211;<em><br \/>\n<\/em><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Portrait de Lawson Oyekan<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/19paulfort.com\/images\/stories\/artistes\/LawsonOyekan2010.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"719\" height=\"526\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Un atelier dans les Vosges<br \/>\nLe grand c\u00e9ramiste anglo-nigerian Lawson Oyekan est un artiste nomade qui s&rsquo;installe l\u00e0 o\u00f9 la terre porte une histoire. Il vient de se poser dans les Vosges avec son univers. Tout a commenc\u00e9 en 2010 \u00e0 Paris au moment de l&rsquo;exposition France-Angleterre qui a lieu chez H\u00e9l\u00e8ne Aziza pour le parcours c\u00e9ramique parisien de l&rsquo;AIC. Douze grandes sculptures y seront montr\u00e9es, les premi\u00e8res en France depuis l&rsquo;exposition collective Le cru et le cuit du mus\u00e9e de Dunkerque vingt ans plus t\u00f4t. En compagnie de Thiebaud Chagu\u00e9 gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 qui l&rsquo;exposition a pu se faire, il visite la Borne, se rend dans des carri\u00e8res de gr\u00e8s, de granit, participe au c\u00e9l\u00e8bre et tr\u00e8s m\u00e9connu Festival de g\u00e9ographie de Saint-Di\u00e9 dans les Vosges o\u00f9 le c\u00e9ramiste fran\u00e7ais fait une cuisson en plein air et, conquis par la r\u00e9gion, se met \u00e0 y chercher un lieu pour y cr\u00e9er de nouvelles c\u00e9ramiques.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">L&rsquo;histoire et le paysage<br \/>\nIl trouve \u00e0 Ban-de-Sapt, un ancien entrep\u00f4t militaire appartenant \u00e0 la ville qui accepte de signer avec lui pour trois ans une convention renouvelable. Tout cela n&rsquo;a rien d&rsquo;anecdotique. Lawson Oyekan recherche les lieux forts, difficiles, marqu\u00e9s par l&rsquo;histoire et la m\u00e9moire. En l\u2019occurrence, il ressent avec acuit\u00e9 les traces des guerres pass\u00e9es dont celle de 1870 encore pr\u00e9sentes dans la r\u00e9gion. M\u00eame si celles-ci n&rsquo;interviennent pas directement dans son \u0153uvre, elles se fondent, \u00e0 partir du paysage dans sa g\u00e9ographie mentale. <em>\u00ab\u00a0Ce monde que je regarde ici a un impact fort sur moi\u00a0\u00bb<\/em> avoue-t-il. Le grand b\u00e2timent rectangulaire qu&rsquo;il loue a quelque chose de rude avec ses murs salis et son bric \u00e0 brac de machines (dont un lave-linge de pressing apport\u00e9e d&rsquo;Angleterre !), de terres, de sculptures, de grands dessins \u00e9pingl\u00e9s au mur, d&rsquo;objets divers. Lawson \u00e9voque les bombes qui y furent entrepos\u00e9es. Mais il y a aussi de gros blocs de bois br\u00fbl\u00e9 de toute beaut\u00e9 issus d&rsquo;un sequoia g\u00e9ant voisin que le propri\u00e9taire n&rsquo;a plus voulu lui donner sachant la couleur de sa peau&#8230; Il a apport\u00e9 un tour et un four \u00e0 fibres cylindrique d&rsquo;Angleterre, un autre des USA. A l\u2019ext\u00e9rieur un grand four \u00e0 gaz trentenaire \u00e0 quatorze br\u00fbleurs, rachet\u00e9 \u00e0 une entreprise de Dunkerque qui fermait, attend des modifications car il est incompatible avec la pression du gaz de la ville. En attendant, toutes les c\u00e9ramiques cuites en France l&rsquo;ont \u00e9t\u00e9 dans le grand four noborigama de Thiebaut Chagu\u00e9 \u00e0 Taintrux.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">M\u00e9tamorphose&#8230;<br \/>\nCe n&rsquo;est pas d&rsquo;aujourd&rsquo;hui que Lawson Oyekan s&rsquo;exile ainsi. Il a eu son propre atelier \u00e0 Londres, mais a travaill\u00e9 deux ans au Danemark, autant en Cor\u00e9e et aux Etats-unis, Montana et Minnesota, en Angleterre dans le Dorset, au Pays de Galles, \u00ab\u00a0Chaque fois j&rsquo;y ai trouv\u00e9 autre chose.\u00a0\u00bb Lawson se frotte aux artistes locaux et parle du travail qu&rsquo;il conduit, <em>\u00ab\u00a0de voyage artistique et d&rsquo;une exploration personnelle autour des combats pour l&rsquo;existence humaine&#8230;\u00a0\u00bb<\/em>. Tout chez lui \u00e9voque la d\u00e9mesure, l&rsquo;extension, celle des mouvements, des d\u00e9placements et du sentiment du temps. Son rapport au monde est tr\u00e8s physique et s&rsquo;exprime \u00e0 travers des sculptures qui disent la pr\u00e9carit\u00e9 de l&rsquo;\u00e9quilibre humain, les m\u00e9tamorphoses des \u00e9tats de la mati\u00e8re dans le temps g\u00e9ologique et la corr\u00e9lation de l&rsquo;homme et de son environnement. Une grande sculpture anthropomorphe en granit lui a \u00e9t\u00e9 command\u00e9e par la ville de Birmingham o\u00f9 elle tr\u00f4ne d\u00e9sormais dans un parc. Randall Gray , avec ses grandes plaques bleu tr\u00e8s fonc\u00e9 \u00e9voque plut\u00f4t le m\u00e9tal. <em>\u00ab\u00a0J&rsquo;ai explor\u00e9 beaucoup de terres diff\u00e9rentes. Ce qu&rsquo;on a ici sous nos pieds c&rsquo;est du granit. Partout dans la r\u00e9gion la terre est rouge, produit de sa lente d\u00e9composition. Cuire l&rsquo;argile, c&rsquo;est refaire le chemin inverse, refusionner les silicates \u00ab\u00a0<\/em>. Il se dit alors<em> \u00ab\u00a0fascin\u00e9\u00a0\u00bb<\/em> par l&rsquo;argile fran\u00e7aise sans que l&rsquo;on comprenne tr\u00e8s bien de quelle terre il s&rsquo;agit. <em>\u00ab\u00a0Elle est r\u00e9put\u00e9e.

Les premi\u00e8res datent d&rsquo;une quinzaine d&rsquo;ann\u00e9es, et il en donne depuis des variations, comme celles que l&rsquo;entreprise Aston Martin lui a command\u00e9e pour son usine de Gaydon \u00e0 deux heures d&rsquo;Oxford.
