Complex ceramic sculptures of buildings, cars, trucks and roads are Even Hobart’s protest against modern humanity, globalization and corporate greed.
Away We Go
‘Away We Go’, a ceramic polar bear skull with a city built on the scull, is Hobart’s commentary on the overlap of humanity and nature. He builds roads and crams them with cars to represent our dependency on oil. His portfolio is crammed too – with more powerful statements about our world.

“Bumper to bumper traffic, war, pollution and the over-developed, excessive life style we live often distress me, and I am compelled to comment on these conditions. My work addresses these contemporary issues and is a reflection of my position as a participant in this society.”

Well done, looks like they were ‘kind of’ fun to make, with all the luttle buildings and cars and such. Very apt for today; reminds me of Kris Kuksi, though not as well conceived or executed.

Yes they are very fun to make. My newest works are even more detailed. I’ve incorporated the use of ceramic decals and wire to help achieve a higher level of detail and to pursue my vision for this body of work.
I have always liked Kris Kuksi’s work very much. Of course his work is made from found objects made of plastics etc. My work is all hand made from ceramics.
