"I don't have the slightest ideology concerning ceramics or art in general. I accept the forms when I feel the work, the finished object, at their maximum intensity, expression, I receive them fully, Jomon, Song, Persian, contemporary, conceptual, figurative or abstract, hundreds of references which, each, have allowed the blossoming of forms or eloquent or admirable ... or mute."
Robert Deblander
"This world-renowned potter since he exhibits as much in London as in Rome or in Tokyo, has perfectly assimilated the lesson of the old craftsmen whom he chose as masters, after a tour of France of pottery. By relying on this traditional base, Robert Deblander engages in constant research concerning volumes and forms. Each of his stoneware pieces, whether a modest bowl or a more elaborate sculpture, conveys his concern for balance and reflects his deep concerns, which are above all architectural in nature."
