NEW YORK, June 17, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ --ArtTour International Magazine has recognized Susan Kadish as one of 60 Top Masters for 2019. Two of her pieces were exhibited at the Viviana Puello Gallery in Manhattan and four of her pieces were exhibited at ArtExpo recently held at Pier 90 in New York City.

Susan Kadish has taken her enthusiasm for creative experimentation to a new level in her current body of work, a unique and exciting process that employs the use of liquid silver. After developing the technique for eight years, and after hundreds of hours of trial and error she perfected and patented the process.
"Each piece is jeweled with thousands of droplets of iridescent silver that shimmer like beads of morning dew on grass," Ms. Kadish observed. "In the firing process the droplets literally bubble through to the surface, dancing atop the under glaze, capturing and refracting the full spectrum of light. As time goes by, with each piece a distinctive patina develops, giving the silver an extraordinary golden hue," she explained.
The daughter of a hat designer and niece of a high fashion designer, Susan Kadish's childhood was steeped in a keen sense for aesthetics. From an early age, she was encouraged by her father to explore and trust her own creative instincts. She first chose to study fashion design at FIT, but then realized her passion lay in pure sculpting of objects, so over time she turned her attention to clay, impressed with its malleability and the greater creative possibilities it affords. Drawn to East Asian techniques, she challenged herself with thousand-year-old pottery methods. "There is an allure to pairing ancient techniques with modern and experimental firing," Ms. Kadish added.
In addition to synthesizing input from the great ancient civilizations, she also finds fulfilling fodder from being surrounded by so much extraordinary artistry in New York. Living in New York, Ms. Kadish says, "Inspires a sense of profound creative freedom. As an American, I enjoy offering an outsider's take on Eastern content. I embrace the learning process, showing respect for the techniques and cultures I represent, but am fully committed to my own artistic vision as well," Ms. Kadish noted.
Her artwork is currently on view at Dennis Basso in New York City, and the Paul Fisher Gallery, in West Palm Beach, Florida.
