Bennett The Mad Ceramicist

With over 20 years of experience in ceramic arts, I, Bennett Onsager, Bennett The Mad Ceramicist hope to inspire you with my surealistic sculpture and Youtube channel.  In my sculpture I utilize themes and attitudes in the cyberpunk genra of science fiction. Pulling inspiration from Katsuhiro Otomo’s “Akira” (film 1988 and graphic novel series 1982-1990) and H.R Giger’s surrealistic artwork, Philip Guston’s later paintings, and writers like Harlan Ellisen and Neal Stephenson. My surrealistic sculpture is described as a unique blend of science fiction and stunning realism that is seldom seen in the world of fine art ceramics. I incorperates visuals of circuitry, conduit tubes and human anatomy to create dynamic artwork that is rendered entirely in traditional fired ceramic materials and technique. My philosophy is that art should evoke emotion, endure through time, and embrace the weirdness of creativity!
