On the Town Sculpture

Simple lines, elegant, and from the heart; those are the main focus of my artwork. As with many art forms, the most difficult objectives to achieve are purity and simplicity. With my vases, bowls, and thrown sculptures I strive to utilize clean lines and fluidity, giving each form a look of graceful motion. Steven Anton Klinsky Biography Intrigued by potters throwing on the wheel since he was a young child, in 1979 Steven was encouraged by friends to take a pottery class taught by Mr. Paul White at Carmel-by-the Sea, CA. It was a class that would change his life. It seemed to be that working with clay came naturally… a gift. Within a short time he was selling pieces at art shows, due to an eye for clean lines and form. At one show he was approached by the owner of a design showroom located in Beverly Hills, CA about making large-scale ceramic vases and urns. This started him in a direction of larger pieces, and soon art venues were carrying Klinsky ceramics in Beverly Hills, Hollywood, Laguna Beach, and Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA, and Seattle, WA, Chicago, IL, and Phoenix, AZ. Living and working in Encinitas, CA for twenty+ years ( and prior to that, Venice, and Santa Cruz, CA ) Steven has been able to enjoy both his ceramic work and his passion for surfing. His love of the ocean and nature can easily be seen in the freedom of shape and movement of his pieces. There is a feeling of life's flow in each piece.
