Richard Moquin

Richard Moquin's sculpture always includes a window on the world of materials. His method of cutting, gluing, and constructing 'slabs' of material together into more or less three-dimensional geometries reveals insights into the relationship between forms, materials, and space. A native San Franciscan, Moquin taught art at City College for 25 years. He was a part of the "new movement" of ceramics with peers Peter Voulkos, Richard Shaw, and others, who took ceramic sculpture in a new direction during the 70s and 80s.  He later changed mediums to marble, often making trips to Italy for materials and inspiration. The recipient of many awards, Moquin has been exhibiting in Bay Area galleries and international exhibitions for four decades.
