Malcolm Mobutu Smith’s background, or “aesthetic subculture,” as he puts it, is an amalgam of hip-hop, graffiti, comic books, break dancing, and playful organic abstraction. His work is mostly wheel-thrown, with wholesale alterations as he plays with the form throughout wet and leather-hard stages. The Cloud Cup displays the energy of such improvisation and alteration. Matthew Kangas, in Ceramics Monthly, called Smith the godfather of hip-hop ceramics.
