9 Tiers Veld Candelabra by Jan Ernst

About the Item

The work is influenced by Jan Ernst's fascination with natural structures such as corals, fungi, and geological formations. The designs have evolved into functional art and sculptural furniture expressed mainly through ceramics and gypsum. Handmade in Capetown. Drawing from nature as inspiration, Jan Ernst creates elegant and alluring ceramic designs that delicately balance form and function. For him, ceramics is linked to exploration, experimentation, and finding equilibrium in composition, structure, and materiality. With an educational background in architecture, Ernst’s primary medium is clay, through which he brings to life gracefully gorgeous organic designs. Although his formal journey into ceramics began later in life, the little mud houses and clay villages made in his childhood ignited a passion he would later pursue. Tactility, peculiarity, decay, and delight are all significant principles that hold the work of the Cape Town-based artist. He doesn’t shy away from contradiction —durability and nuance are handled with great finesse.
