Sharing Spaces | Eric Serritella

Sep 25 – Nov 9, 2026

Eric Serritella is recognized internationally as one of the top ceramic trompe l’oeil artists in the world. He specializes in hand-carved sculptures transforming clay into birch, charred and weathered logs. His one-of-a-kind pieces are known for their hyper-realism, and have been exhibited, awarded and collected on five continents for their exquisite organic design and incredibly lifelike textures. Works have been contributed to over 160 exhibitions and over 25 are represented in museum collections including among others The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Carnegie Museum of Art, the Everson Museum, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. He was honored by the James Renwick Alliance as the 2016 Distinguished Artist in Ceramics at the Smithsonian American Art Museum. His 2018 solo show at Jason Jacques Gallery was recommended in the NY Times and he has received positive acclaim by Architectural Digest and renowned art critic/historian Daniella Ohad. Each piece Serritella makes begins as a blank piece of clay where work begins spontaneously and intuitively without the use of wood samples or models. He uses wheel throwing, slab building and hand building techniques to create his expressive forms. All the texture and details are hand-carved and no molds are used. After applying ceramic oxides for accent colors, the pieces are fired to over 2,100º. Recent explorations in glass have widened his pallette for material and color and emerged into a new body of cast glass and pate de verre works, often in combination with clay elements.
