Patricia Volk
Selene by Patricia Volk - Abstract ceramic sculpture, painted clay, geometric

2014

About the Item

Selene is a unique fired clay constructed, painted and mounted on MDF sculpture by contemporary artist Patricia Volk, dimensions are 64 × 45 × 9 cm (25.2 × 17.7 × 3.5 in). The sculpture is signed and comes with a certificate of authenticity. Abstract sculptures by Patricia Volk are the result of a special fusion of two elements, namely form and colour. In order to find the ideal line, which for the artist is a simple and dynamic line, she coils and cuts pieces of clay, her favourite material, at the start of her creative process. After being fired, the components are put together to form the sculpture's final shape. Patricia uses acrylic paint to decorate her sculptures, drawing inspiration from the American tradition of painted fired clay. She carefully considers the colour scheme before making an intuitive or subjective decision. The sculpture's shapes, as well as the balances and contrasts between strength and fragility, stability and precariousness, heaviness and lightness, are highlighted by the intense and vibrant colours used. They can convey a variety of concepts to the viewer, including peace, conflict, or a sense of motion.
