Large-Scale Biomorphic Plaster Sculpture on Artist-Built Wooden Stand

About the Item

This extraordinary piece by noted ceramicist Ebitenyefa Baralaye carries a unique narrative. Its name, "Dupp Dup," mirrors the rhythmic beating of a heart – symbolizing the duality of life, both physical and metaphysical. This biomorphic marvel, standing 6'-6" tall, is meticulously hand-sculpted, taking its inspiration from the fluid, curvilinear forms found in nature. Its textured surface, formed from the interplay of plaster, burlap, and sisal rope, creates an intriguing tactile experience for the viewer. Perched gracefully on its artist-made wooden stand, the undulating and sumptuous form creates a lush and alluring sculptural statement, as well as casting an intriguing and bulbous shadow when bathed under light. It is a truly impressive work of organic art that can be the centerpiece of your living room, an accent in your foyer, or in any space where you want to evoke the beauty of nature and the depth of the human experience. About the Artist: Ebitenyefa Baralaye is a ceramicist, sculptor, and designer. His work explores cultural, spiritual, and material translations of objects, text, and symbols interpreted through a diaspora lens and abstracted around the aesthetics of craft and design. Baralaye received a BFA in ceramics from the Rhode Island School of Design and an MFA in ceramics from the Cranbrook Academy of Art. Baralaye was an AICAD Teaching Fellow at the San Francisco Art Institute from 2016 to 2018. His work is featured in the “Objects: USA 2020” exhibition and catalog. He is currently an assistant professor and the Section Head of Ceramics at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit, MI.

  • Large-Scale Ceramic Sculptural Cup & Saucer Vase Glazed in Glossy Blue & Teal
    By Jaye Kim
    Located in New York, NY
    Large-scale Hand-Built Glazed Ceramic Sculpture, entitled 'Cup & Saucer' by Brooklyn-based artist and ceramicist Jaye Kim. This generously oversized cup and saucer is scaled up for maximum impact, and glazed in a glossy mix of exuberant teal and vibrant cobalt blue that emphasizes the drippy textured surface with a subtle sheen that catches the light. This work is composed of two separate pieces: the cup, and the saucer upon which it neatly sits. The cup can function as a vessel for an enormous bunch of flowers, a cachepot for a plant, or stand alone as a decorative object. With its monumental proportions, this piece brings a mega-size sense of whimsy to any setting. Artist Information: Jaye Kim is a Korean-American artist living and working in Brooklyn, NY. Her ceramic work is an exploration of her interior world regarding the symbolism and rituals of motherhood. Depicting the mundane objects Kim interacts with daily in ginormous scale, from cups and saucers to skin care face masks and cabbages, the ordinary is transformed into the interpersonal. In her oversized hand built vessels, surface details derived from her coiling and pinching emerge to tell a story about our everyday domestic objects, highlighted by delicate lustres and stunning, saturated glaze work. Jaye Kim is a graduated of the School of Visual Arts, where she studied animation. Her work has been shown at Egg Collective...
