The Ferry Building Gallery is proud to present Walking in the Footsteps, an exhibition celebrating the legacy of renowned ceramic artist Zoltan Kiss and the work of his son, Peter Kiss and Tania Gleave. This exhibition marks Zoltan’s fourth show at the Ferry Building Gallery, his first shown in memory, Peter’s third, and Tania’s debut.

For over 50 years, Zoltan Kiss pursued a deep mastery of his craft. He built his own kilns, mixed his own glazes, and even imported clay from Wales to achieve specific effects. This intense technical control allowed space for joy and experimentation—qualities reflected not only in his ceramics but in his architectural paintings, where precision met spontaneity.

Artist Statement
Each panel is a story, and a short one because it’s only a small work. I see them as visual haikus, Tarot cards, dream fragments. They are complete in themselves—as metaphorical vignettes of my life and as an endless sequence of magical synchronicities. They are images that appear daily in my mind. They are the picture book of my life. They are hung in a random sequence.

Each panel is neither a memory nor an anticipation. It simply reflects the energy of your eyes at the very moment you see it. You give your attention, and in return, it gives you a story of your own.
