of Ceramic Abstract sculpture and oil paintings showing in our current exhibition
COLOUR OF LIFE 09.
Rodney Goodwin-Salter Born in the village of Ide near
Exeter Devon, (England) 2nd August 1945 he grew up with an extremely inquisitive
mind in a contented family background. From a comparatively early age he had a
place in which he could work on his multiple projects. Designs, inventing gadgets,
whatever the motivation was of the day. There was nothing he liked more than to
be working alone in what was ostensibly, his Garden Shed. Although in winter he
would bring (if at all possible) whatever he was working on into the sitting room
where his mother, a very tolerant soul, would let him chisel, saw, stick and glue.
It is not surprising then, with his loathing of mathematics*; that he excelled
in every other subject, including working different materials, metal, and wood
on one hand and painting, creating art on the other. Drawing was his force as
a child; he could always think three dimensionally, in technical drawing or in
portraying with light and shade on paper or canvas, whatever the inspiration or
subject might be. In 1961 he started on the long professional learning curve as
a “Lithographic artist” with the printers, James Townsend & Sons, this lasted
for almost eight years. In effect it was a graphic studio and at that period all
originals were hand drawn, that included, as well as the technique of lithography,
designing & drawing lettering and illustrations. During this period he spent time
at the “Exeter College of Art” under the tutelage of Alan Fishwick, for fine art
and Ruth May Woods for lettering and calligraphy. At the latter part of this very
rounded training he attended for some months the London College of Printing, at
the Elephant & Castle. This training gave him the necessary grounding for what
was blossoming into self expression and originality in his art .
Never
having had, what he calls, a full blooded pure art college training, he feels
was something of an advantage, certainly for him. He wasn’t without his inhibitions
and self doubts. Like most creative people…
*mathematics; although far
from being his strongest subject, in later life he went on to design and construct
many projects that needed complicated technical calculations…

GREEK
pottery - The ancient Greeks produced pottery for their own locale They made
pottery for everyday use. Most surviving pottery consists of drinking vessels,
such as amphorae, kraters ( bowls for mixing wine and water), hydria( water jars),
libration bowls, jugs, cups and painted funeral urns.
Chinese pottery
- dates back to 8000 years. The first few objects were hand-moulded eathenware
vessels. Blue -and-white porcelain was first produced under the Yuan Dynasty (1279-1368AD),
Potters of the subsequent Ming Dynasty ( 1368-1644AD) perfected these blue-and-white
wares so that they soon came to represent the virtuosity of the Chinese potter.
Five-coloured porcelain wares became famous under the patonage of the Qing dynasty.
