On Quality Pillins'
In case you are new to Pillin's art I believe this might have some value to you. First, some comments on unwarranted statements made relative to Pillin's efforts by ignorant or amoral vendors. One of these empty statements that annoys me is the use of the word "rare" or the phrase "a rare example of her work." How can one particular work be "rare" if every one of the many items she created is different? In a sense, they are all rare, but pointing to any one piece as being "rare" relative to the others seems nothing but a clear attempt to mislead.
The other annoying misrepresentation imposed on potential clients is something to the effect that "this is one of her best ceramics". However, much more often than not, what is offered is a relatively mediocre example of her work (yes, she has produced simplistic "shelf fillers"). Again, an empty claim, this time based on either the sellers lack of artistic sensitivity, or more likely, their use of sales hype to sell. So what if it's misleading, it's a fast extra buck! So turns our world. Be careful. Although all of Pillin's efforts will appreciate in value, her quality pieces will soar; here is how to identify them.
Exclusive of her ceramic painting plaques (where the first criterion does not apply), quality pieces can be determined by the use and evaluation of 4 criteria.
First is the shape of the pottery. Her quality pieces are a labor of love that is reflected in the beautifully sensuous lines forming them. "Full of grace" can be appropriately used here.
Second, is the painting. Women depicted look saintly, horses, spiritual, other figures, ethereal. The art, the art is indescribable. Abstract form and figures blend into a mystical enchanting whole. There is clear loving care and lingering effort used to perfect the images.
Third are the colors, those that are used and how they are used. Pillins' masterpieces are framed from within by her sensitive use of color, color that both reflects and enhances the overall quality of a piece.
Last, the ceramic must be pristine, in perfect condition.
When you see all this, you will know that you have seen an excellent example of her work.
