20th Century Post-Modern Glazed Ceramic Penis/Phallic Sculpture, United Kingdom

About the Item

Late 20th century Post-Modern painted and glazed ceramic penis/phallic sculpture, United Kingdom By: unknown Material: ceramic, paint, enamel, clay Technique: glazed, pressed, molded, painted, hand-painted, enameled, hand-crafted, fired Dimensions: 7 in x 6 in x 12 in Date: late 20th century Style: Post-Modern Place of origin: United Kingdom Embodying the provocative spirit of late 20th-century Post-Modern art, this sculptural ceramic piece from the United Kingdom boldly explores themes of sexuality and form. The phallic shape, rendered in detail, showcases a masterful application of glazing techniques. Rich, variegated hues of pink and purple create a lustrous, almost lifelike surface, enhanced by the strategic use of darker tones to accentuate anatomical features. The artist's skilled manipulation of clay is evident in the sculpture's smooth contours and subtle textures, reflecting both technical prowess and artistic vision. This work resonates with the boundary-pushing aesthetics of contemporaries like Jeff Koons, Judy Chicago, and Grayson Perry, who similarly challenged conventions through explicit bodily representations. By merging traditional ceramic craftsmanship with audacious subject matter, this piece exemplifies the Post-Modern ethos of subverting artistic norms and confronting viewers with unabashed expressions of eroticism and human physicality.
