About the Item

Richard Orlinski – "Cactus" (Matt Blue) Medium: Resin Dimensions: 130 x 50 x 40 cm Color: Matt Blue Condition: Excellent With "Cactus," Richard Orlinski brings his signature faceted style to the world of botanical forms, transforming a desert plant into a striking contemporary sculpture. This artwork is a tribute to the cactus’s remarkable adaptability—its ability to thrive in harsh conditions, withstand drought, and flourish in the face of adversity. Rendered in a matt blue finish, Orlinski’s cactus is both organic and structured, a balance of fluid growth and geometric abstraction. The composition features dynamic “bunny ear” pads that extend from the vertical stem, shifting in orientation depending on the viewer’s perspective. The contrast between smooth surfaces and sharply angled facets creates a play of light and shadow, giving the sculpture an ever-changing presence. A New Take on Botanical Art – Orlinski’s first plant-inspired sculpture reinterprets nature through a modern lens, blending organic movement with architectural precision. Versatile Placement – The 130 cm height makes it an eye-catching centerpiece for both indoor and outdoor settings, enhancing contemporary interiors, gardens, or gallery spaces. Symbolic Meaning – The cactus represents endurance, adaptability, and quiet strength, making this piece an evocative addition to any collection. Distinctive Craftsmanship – The matt blue resin finish highlights the interplay of flat and raised surfaces, ensuring a sophisticated visual impact from every angle. Orlinski’s fascination with the cactus as a symbol of survival and transformation is evident in this work. Rather than portraying a static, rigid form, he introduces movement and variation, with each element subtly shifting in perspective. The result is a sculpture that is never the same twice—its contours evolving with the light, the space, and the viewer’s position. For collectors and design enthusiasts alike, "Cactus" is an invitation to explore the harmony between nature and contemporary art.

Ruffled Blue and White Cactus-like Ceramic Sculpture, Sandra Davolio
By Sandra Davolio
Located in New York, NY
Coral Vase III, 2023, (Porcelain, C. 11.8 in. h x 5.5 in. diam., Object No.: 4195) Davolio’s sophisticated porcelain works and their organic and natural references are influenced by the Art Nouveau style, the keen interest in the mechanics of futurism, and the minimalist and linear approach typical to Scandinavian Design. In the past 15 years, Davolio has positioned herself as an internationally renowned ceramicist. J. Lohmann Gallery discovered this talented artist in Europe in 2007 and introduced Davolio’s work to the United States in 2008. She has developed a unique oeuvre over several decades that is unparalleled. Her work conveys a deep connection to nature, and in particular to the sea. Davolio herself reveals that she “feels deep devotion and passion while working” and experiences “wonderful peaceful moments when creating something new from raw clay” with her hands. The elaborate porcelain sculptures and vessels suggest organic biomorphic forms, mostly aquatic shapes like coral reefs and undulating leaves. A graduate of The Danish School of Design, Davolio is influenced by the minimalist design aesthetic in Copenhagen, as can be seen in many of the artist’s unique and artistically important creations, in which a series of concentric lamellas emanate from the central column of a vase. She also draws inspiration from the ceramic traditions of ancient Mediterranean...
