About the Item

The vessel is layered with metaphorical meaning. At its essence, the vessel is a symbol for the human body—specifically the female body—which carries and nurtures the child within. In pagan societies, the cauldron was a symbol for the womb of the Great Goddess and offered the power of rebirth. The famous Chalice, some scholars believe, was actually Mary Magdalene, the sacred vessel that held the Christ. The vessel has been on on-going theme for the artist and has a chapter in her book, Symbols of the Spirit: A Meditative Journey Through Art.

Vessel

Vessel

By Paul Shakespear

Located in Westport, CT

Paul Shakespear’s minimalist works constantly explore the material properties of paint. This painting is beautifully surfaced. The artist strives to achieve translucence, depth or even a stony surface. The work has no narrative. It has some mark making, but it’s subservient to the tactile quality of the painting’s surface. It’s all about painting as object. He applies close to forty layers of think acrylic glazes that are brushed, troweled and rubbed on. The final layer is often an equisite highly polished surface. The artist compares painting to making music, an activity beyond words, a reaching for the emotional and unconscious world. His work has been exhibited in the U.S., Europe and South America. He is in numerous collections, including Addison Gallery of American Art; Ann & Graham Gund Colleciton; Fidelity Investments; University of San Diego; Berkshire Partners and De Cordova Museum. Paul Shakespear lives and works in Cambridge, Massachusetts. A native of Buenos Aires, Argentina, he was educated at Boston College...
