URIEL CASPI CERAMICS

Uriel Caspi’s artworks propose an interplay between the revival of ancient crafts and contemporary art studio practice.  Visually inspired by archeological remnants from the Middle East and the aesthetics of future design, installations of large-scale ceramic sculptures operate as platforms for artistic interaction between the artist and the viewer. Antiquarian connotations from the artist’s local surroundings as well as objects from the domicile are transformed into clay, in a process of experimental study that occasionally combines both ancient techniques and digital fabrication.
 

From early childhood, Caspi has been fascinated with clay. He earned a BFA in Ceramics from the Bezalel Academy, Jerusalem (2018), and an MFA from Alfred University, New York (2021). Since graduating, he has exhibited works and installations in museums, galleries, art fairs and venues across the world: the Armory Show with Yossi Milo Gallery, NYC; Sculpture Space, NY; Faenza International Ceramics Museum, Italy; Collect Art Fair 2025, London; Salon C-14, Paris; Westerwald Ceramics Museum, Germany; Musée de Carouge, Geneva; Eretz Israel Museum, Tel Aviv; Yingge Ceramics Museum, Taipei; and Musee Tomo, Tokyo.

​

Caspi has worked internationally as an academic fellow and artist-in-residence, including the Archie BrayFoundation (Montana), Yingge Ceramics Museum (Taiwan), EKWC (Netherlands), Cercco–HEAD Genève (Switzerland), Höchster Porzellan Manufaktur (Germany), Northern Clay Center (Minnesota), and others. His honors include the Hecht Award for Emerging Artist (2019), the Artis Grant (2023), and the McKnight fellowship (2024). Born in Haifa, Israel, Caspi is currently based in Tilburg, the Netherlands.
