Matt Wedel’s exhibition, Peaceable Fruit, at L.A. Louver (Los Angeles, November 18 – December 30, 2015) is one of this year’s most important exhibitions.  It succeeds in elevating the artist’s stature as a sculptor and advances ceramics as a contemporary art medium. One may wonder why I making such a fuss. If you look back at earlier shows they share similar themes and strengths. Why is this show so much more exciting? It’s all in nuance and details. There is a move forward in Wedel’s assurance with form, surface and subject that raises his work from very good to great. At this point incremental shifts take on power and raise him to the top canon of emerging contemporary sculpture. And at a smidgen under six figures, his pricing seems extremely reasonable in today’s overheated and often overvalued marketplace.
