Brutalist Midcentury Wall Cross - Handmade Ceramic from Europe
About the Item
This handmade ceramic wall cross, crafted in Europe during the midcentury period, exemplifies the Brutalist aesthetic. Adorned with concentric circles relief in glossy brown and light green colors, the cross exhibits a simple yet impactful composition. The concentric circles, emanating from the center, contribute to the cross's visual weight and structural integrity. This piece reflects the logic and principles of Brutalist design, emphasizing honesty of materials and a focus on geometric forms. Its substantial presence and strong composition make it a compelling addition to any space, echoing the architectural and artistic trends of its era.
Our European cross collection (Tradition & Modernism) is composed of one-of-a-kind, handcrafted pieces made by Studio Pottery artists from the 1950s to 1970s. They show a range of diverse styles, from modernism to brutalism. Each artist has taken a unique approach to depict faith through the language of art and the medium of ceramics. This large collection offers an opportunity to curate a custom wall of modernist crucifixes, and appeals to those who appreciate the symbolism and beauty of religious artifacts.
