Patrick Siler suggests a whole working-class environment with a limited amount of detail in his Game of Pool teapot. The artist offers a humorous contrast between the prim image of a teapot and the “bare-knuckled” world of the blue-collar pool hall.
Luce Object Quote“They represent every man---and woman---in their working class, hard driving lives. They enjoy their beer, movies, cafes, sex and cars . . .” Lois Allan, Artweek, June 2002
