BEN MEDANSKY (05)
A self-described ‘orchestrator of controlled
chaos’ and ‘refiner of industrial aesthetics’,
Medansky is a ceramicist whose sculptural
work features intersecting shapes, sudden
flashes of colour and unexpected volumes.
Influences range from industrial design and
brutalism to the architecture of Los Angeles,
where he founded his studio in 2012.

One of the more recent graduates among
our pick of ceramicists to watch, with an
MA from London’s RCA, Riggio also made
our Graduate Directory (see page 095). His
Paste series nods to 1920s Cartier designs
as well as the art of Lucio Fontana, and
is intended to ‘evoke a sense of nostalgia
through new material sophistication’.
