Shane Gabier Stripe Plate - Black

Kneeland Co. Rarities is proud to feature the ceramics of New York-based designer and artist Shane Gabier. A graduate of design, fashion, and architecture from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Shane focused on clothing design until 2017, when he began to design and produce furniture and lighting. As an independent exploration, he began to work in clay in 2018, first developing functional pieces on the wheel, and in 2020 began to construct sculptural, hand-built forms, both functional and non-functional. His current body of work is focused on the study of form, color, and texture, and pairs utilitarian functionality with ornamental design, informed by modernist design, 70s psychedelia, and Brutalist architecture.
