About the Item

Ceramic sculpture in glazed stoneware Unique piece Certificate : seal and signature by Jean-Claude Canonne and on the original certificate This sculpture is a very long time of work of preparing, both for the design and creation of the shape but especially for the composition of the enamels, because all of these enamels composition is fired in only one shot. It's a very hard work to success these kind of work. Jean-Claude Canonne is otherwise recognised by the ceramics profession for his exceptional mastery of glazes. This sculpture stands out for its unique conceptual approach. More compact than the others in the "Mountains trilogy, it is inspired by the vision of "mâcle": an aggregate of crystals fused into a solid, powerful structure. Its skyward-stretching lines evoke a raw, almost primitive, pyramidal landscape, with the emphasis on minerality. Here, enamels are juxtaposed and superimposed, creating a matrix where earth and vegetation seem entangled. The texture, the fruit of the kiln's enclosed space, conveys a mineral density and intrinsic strength, as if the mountain itself had been crystallized in the depths of the earth. About The mountains trilogy of Jean-Claude Canonne : These glazed stoneware sculptures, fired in a reducing atmosphere at 1300°C, embody Jean-Claude Canonne's vision of recreating the genesis of mountains in all their power and beauty. Through inspired enameling and modeling, he reinvents the processes of mineral and geological formation, like an echo of the telluric forces and volcanic eruptions that shape the relief. These three sculptures, united by their inspiration but distinct in their expression, bear witness to Jean-Claude Canonne's technical mastery and artistic vision, offering a poetic and powerful exploration of the mineral world.
