中国本自具有深厚的壶艺文化，但是对欧洲的壶艺不免感到陌生，来自捷克的首席壶艺大师-几雷·拉斯托米加，便是西方当代壶艺创作的代表人物。他的创作风格迥异于传统东方壶艺，简洁而新意无穷，对于观念还停留在固有茶壶形象的人们而言，初见几雷的作品，无疑将享受到大为惊叹的视觉震撼。
这次几雷的中国首度双人展，特别选在海纳川的上海，除了源于他个人2006年，与上海初次邂逅的完美印象之外，也希望观赏者能融入这艺术与人文的唯美氛围，以深刻感受他独特的壶艺内涵，最后感悟到在壶艺世界中，东方与西方难以言喻的情感连系。
1949年出生的几雷·拉斯托米加，是居住在布拉格的雕塑家和设计师，1974年完成了「建筑与设计艺术学院」的学业之后，几雷便到「雷梭发展中心」开始了他的设计生涯。1981年至1992年，几雷受聘于布拉格的「居住与服饰文化协会」，同时他也在卡罗维法利的陶瓷厂工作。1992年之后，他正式成为陶瓷厂的设计师，主要创作为瓷器人物雕塑。1998年，几雷·拉斯托米加正式成为「联合国教科文组织陶艺委协会」的会员。他的作品曾多次获得「捷克设计中心」的奖赏，并在捷克及许多国家展出。
几雷认为，茶壶的创作目标，是做出兼具独特性和实用性的茶具。他的每一件作品都是独一无二的艺术创作，也是一种在个人工作室里的放松与享受，因为这让他忘却市场化的量产概念。
此次双人展的另外一位陶艺家黄政道，出生于台湾，是国际知名的壶艺家。他旅游过三十个国家以上，并且曾经在英国、中国、法国、波兰、捷克、爱沙尼亚、韩国、立陶宛、挪威、美国和新西兰的许多大学、艺术中心和市政府担任客座艺术家。他的作品也被许多国内外的博物馆收藏，比如加拿大的「加得尼尔陶瓷博物馆」，美国的「波姆那陶瓷博物馆」，意大利的「法恩札陶瓷博物馆」，中国的「无锡博物馆」和「镇江博物馆」，波兰的「布拉什瓦给特陶瓷博物馆」，爱沙尼亚的「塔林应用艺术博物馆」和英国的「诺丁汉城堡博物馆」等等。
下列是黄政道作壶生涯的三点感受：
1、壶非一相。
2、饮茶，不仅仅是一种生活方式，更是一种生活艺术化的信仰。
3、制壶，失意时，以儒学持之；得意时，以佛心处之；无得无失，以道家守之。
这次双人展，有赖于台湾陶艺家黄政道的推荐，由五角场「KING空间」主办，和「上海得时讯息科技有限公司」的协办，得以盛大举办，让几雷和黄政道两位陶艺家，更加充满了兴奋与期待，希望带给国内的壶艺爱好者全新的艺术体验，感受前所未有的视觉文化冲击
Thirst：Contemporary Euro/asian 2persons Teapot Show
Teapot is derived from China, but modern Chinese people may be not so familiar with European teapots. Jiri Lastovicka, from Czech Republic, is one of the representatives of the western teapot makers. His teapot style is totally different form the oriental teapot style. Those aesthectic and creative teapots will bring you a visual shock and an enjoyment.
Owing to his first perfect memory about Shanghai in 2006, Jiri Lastovicka chooses it, Shanghai- a renowned internatioanlly-influenced city, for his first 2-person teapot show.
Jiri, born in 1949, is a sculptor and designer from Prague. He is primarily involved with porcelain and industrial design. After finishing the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague in 1974, he started his designer’s career in the Lesov Development center. Between 1981 and 1992, he was employed in the Institute of Housing and Clothing Culture in Prague, while at the same time he continued his work for the porcelain producer in Karlovy Vary. From 1992 Jiri has been working as a designer for the firm Porcela Plus a.s. As a sculptor he is mainly concerned with porcelain figurative sculpture. Jiri has been designing porcelain for more than 30 years. The porcelain sets are produced by Thun Karlovarsky Porcelan. From 1998 he has been a member of IAC (International Academy of Ceramic). A number of his works have been awarded prizes by the Czech Design Center. He has exhibited in the Czech Republic and abroad.
Another exhibited arist, Hwang Jeng-daw, born in Taiwan, is an internationally acclaimed teapot-maker. He has traveled to more than 30 countries, and has been guest artist at various universities, art centers and city governments in many countries such as United Kingdom, China, France, Poland, Czech, Estonia, Korea, Lithuania, Norway, the United States, and New Zealand. His works are also widely collected by many museums worldwide, such as “the George R. Gardiner Museum of Ceramic Art” in Canada, “American Museum of Ceramic Art” in USA, “Faenza International Ceramics Museum” in Italy, “Zhenjiang Museum” and “Wuxi Museum” in China, “Boleslawiec Ceramics Museum” in Poland, “Tallinn Applied Art Museum” in Estonia, and “Nottingham Castle Museum” in England.
The followings are some of Hwang Jeng-daw’s feelings collected throughout his teapot-making career.
1. Teapots show us different ways and we also give teapots different appearances.
2. Drinking tea is not only a way of life, but also a belief in the life of art.
3. If you cannot make a good teapot, reflect upon the Confucian teachings. If you make a great teapot, reflect upon the Buddhist teachings. If this doesn’t work, reflect upon the Taoist teachings.
This 2-person teapot show, recommended by Hwang Jeng-daw, is hold by KING Space Gallery, with the assistance of Shanghai Deshi Corporatiion Ltd.. Both of Jiri Lastovicka and Hwang Jeng-daw are full of excitment and expectance from this exhibition, and hope to bring people a new art experience, as well as a culturally visual impact.
