Mindy Solomon Gallery is pleased to present Teacup party, an online exclusive exhibition featuring the vibrant and idiosyncratic ceramic works of Los Angeles–based artist Stanley Edmondson. Known for his energetic surfaces and unmistakable sense of play, Edmondson transforms the humble cup into a lively vessel for artistic expression—melding bold color, graphic carving, and his signature cartoon-influenced drawing.

Rooted in a deep tradition of West Coast ceramic innovation, Edmondson’s work channels the spirit of the California Funk Art movement while also drawing inspiration from mid-century comics, anime, and personal mythology. A student of form and function, Edmondson embraces the Bauhaus ethos of merging craft with fine art, often working with homemade clay and pushing the limits of what a utilitarian object can be.

A cup, in Edmondson’s hands, is never just a cup. It’s a sculpture. A comic strip. A visual pun. A gesture of joy. It’s also a tribute—to his mentors like Peter Voulkos, Michael Frimkess, and his father Leonard Edmondson, who helped shape California’s clay revolution of the 1960s and ’70s.

With Teacup party, we invite you to experience these objects not just as ceramics, but as characters in Edmondson’s ongoing narrative—at once deeply personal and universally playful.

Why not add a bit of artistry to your everyday ritual? Sip boldly. Collect joyfully. This is a cup worth loving.
