Roger Law RDI

From the early 1960s Roger Law made caricatures for publications such as The New York Times, the London Sunday Times, and Der Spiegel, which in 1984 culminated in the topical satirical television show Spitting Image.

After Spitting Image finished in 1996, Law became the artist in residence at the National Art School in Sydney. He subsequently moved to Jingdezhen, China where he makes large porcelain vessels. It was meeting the Australian-Chinese ceramicist Ah Xian, who in turn introduced him to the pottery workshops of Jingdezhen, which led Law to embark on a new artistic career.

Paule Constable RDI
