Rob Froese maintains a studio practice in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, selling his work in Canada while periodically returning to Japan where his work has been shown in 21 solo exhibitions. Along with 12 years living in Japan, his art studies and experiences include a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Ceramics from the University of Regina, a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Saskatchewan, travel in Europe, Israel, Turkey, Southeast Asia and Mexico, and an artistic education provided by his father, Gus Froese, landscape painter and muralist.
Japanese cultural and culinary aesthetics have greatly influenced the way Rob works in clay; shaping his interest in the tactile experience of using a dish and in how physical qualities of a clay body inspire and direct form and function. His friendship and collaboration with Japanese potter Kazuma Nakano has been an invaluable source of support, inspiration and excitement about living and working with clay. |
