Orion Crossing Fine Art Ceramics is a distinguished studio specializing in handcrafted ceramic pieces that draw inspiration from ancient Paleolithic art, particularly the captivating horse imagery found in the Lascaux Caves of France. The journey began over 12 years ago when Cynthia Andersen, with a background in commercial billboard painting in Southern California, pursued her Fine Arts degree at the ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena. During her studies, a visit to the Lascaux Caves profoundly influenced her artistic vision, leading her to recreate the Paleolithic horse in her work. Collaborating with Donna Keller, who experimented with temperature variations and glazing techniques, they developed a unique method to achieve vibrant and dynamic results, bringing ancient art forms into contemporary ceramic pieces.
The studio offers a diverse range of ceramic artworks, including tiles, sinks, and sculptures, each reflecting the intricate beauty of Paleolithic cave art. Their creations are not only functional but also serve as artistic expressions that connect modern audiences with ancient traditions. Orion Crossing Fine Art Ceramics is committed to preserving the essence of ancient artistry while infusing it with modern techniques, resulting in pieces that are both timeless and innovative. Their dedication to quality craftsmanship and artistic integrity has established them as a unique presence in the world of fine art ceramics.
