Elyse Pignolet

About Elyse

Born in Oakland, CA, Elyse Pignolet is an American with Filipino heritage, living and working in Los Angeles. Pignolet works primarily in ceramics and her work has been inspired by and dealt with various themes including political and social issues, the dialectic between feminism and misogyny, inequality, and cultural stereotypes. Exploring the boundaries between ceramics, painting and sculpture, Pignolet attempts to place the permanence and traditions of ceramics with the fleeting and transitory nature of the contemporary world.

Elyse is represented by Track 16 Gallery in Los Angeles and Koplin Del Rio Gallery in Seattle. Her works have been featured in several contemporary arts publications including the La Weekly, Juxtapoz Magazine, The Huffington Post, KQED, and the Los Angeles Times.
