Stuart Asprey was born in England and raised in California. He received his MFA (ceramics) from the University of Oklahoma and his BA (Art) from Humboldt State University. Stuart’s award winning, irreverently humored artwork regularly exhibits throughout the United States and occasionally in Europe. He has taught workshops at Anderson Ranch, The Armory in West Palm Beach, The Morean Center for Clay, Red Star Studios and numerous universities throughout the United States. In 2012 he returned to the University of Oklahoma and is currently an Associate Professor of Ceramics, undergraduate coordinator in the School of Visual Arts, and a recent recipient of the Art’s & Humanities Faculty Fellowship.
His artwork uses ornamentation and narrative as artistic allies that assist in the creation of his ceramic vessels. These objects are graphic clay canvases that question our past actions, events and people. They can be irreverently witty, gut wrenchingly serious, or filled with parody. They use history for arsenal: our folklore, politics, science, human geography and most importantly, our popular culture.
