John Shea is an abstract sculptor working with clay to examine the way in which objects form relationships and exist in the world. Incorporating geometric and organic forms John’s work looks to highlight where we construct boundaries between individual objects in groups and the way we differentiate between objects and ourselves. He has shown nationally and internationally including in Los Angeles and New York City through Hostler Burrows, as well as in Milan and London through Officine Saffi. John’s most recent solo show “full volume” opened in January 2025 at the Walton Art Center in Fayetteville, AR. He currently teaches at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock as an Assistant Professor of Ceramics.
