About the Item
Abstract ceramic tile painting of white birds against a light oak brown background and blue and white mosaic design
18 x 18 inches
Earthenware, ceramic glazes on panel
This unique hanging ceramic tile was crafted by Saratoga, NY-based artist Anne Francey. The composition combines abstracted white birds and geometric patterns in an earthly combination of sienna brown and moss green with accents of white and blue mosaic design. A slightly rough surface texture reinforces the handmade quality of the piece, yet the overall gloss from ceramic glazes ensures a sense of elegance. The ceramic work on panel hovers just slightly off of the wall due to a small mount on back.
About the Birds and Geometry series:
Anne Francey writes, 'The tile-like ceramic pieces are to be hung on a wall like paintings. The relationship between geometric patterns and various configurations reflects on our need to find meaning in the events that shape our lives. But while geometric designs inevitably incorporate the unpredictable nature of the hand and fire that modeled it, more organic shapes strive to find a semblance of order.'
About the artist:
Anne Francey’s observation of the natural world has always been the point of departure in her clay work, evolving into a constant oscillation between representation and abstraction, organic shapes and geometric order, what's being shown and what's being hidden. Whether starting from a flower, a twig, an insect or a moss. Francey simplifies and flattens their shapes, blurring their visual identity in order to reveal a hidden meaning. Of her work, the artist states, “Could these abstracted forms of insects and plants, hardened for ever in the fired clay, become imprints of the past one day, like fossils of a bygone era?” Anne Francey currently resides in Saratoga Springs, New York.

Anne Francey
Anne Francey returns to the gallery exhibiting selections from both past and current work. Trained as a painter, Francey added ceramic to her studio practice after developing a love and fascination for the ceramic tiles and infinite design that adorn houses and interiors in Tunisia, spending a year at the National Center of Ceramics of Tunis. Arabesques, this endless flow of lines inspired by vegetal forms typical of Islamic art, has translated onto her recent work in the form of simply choreographed lines resembling seed pods, bramble and flowering buds. In her 1988 Flower series, Francey captured the delicate essence of her natural model through vivid movements of paint and animated marks of red and black charcoal on paper and canvas. So simple in their approach, the seemingly effortless designs owe their appearance to the liberated approach Francey takes with the application of her medium. In more recent work, Francey continues the free-hand aesthetic with her work on paper series entitled, Seismography.
