About the Item
Julia Florence’s The Beast Awoken (2024) is a powerful example of the artist’s ability to merge expressive figurative painting with the tactile richness of stoneware. This unique ceramic vessel draws the viewer in with its commanding imagery—a tiger mid-roar, encircling the form with fluidity and strength, surrounded by soft lotus blossoms that contrast the ferocity of the beast. Painted directly onto the sculptural surface, the composition speaks to Florence’s training in classical drawing and her talent for storytelling through form and surface. The work evokes a sense of emotional transformation, as if capturing a moment of awakening from the depths of the subconscious.
What makes this piece especially compelling is the dynamic tension between fragility and power. The tiger, rendered with vivid brushstrokes, becomes a symbol of primal force emerging from stillness, while the presence of the lotus suggests rebirth and serenity. This duality is a hallmark of Florence’s practice—her ceramics often act as meditative vessels for exploring psychological and emotional states, bridging the internal world with external gesture.
