About the Item
A fine porcelain figurine.
In the form of a black back doll with pink geometric patterns to the torso that is reminiscent of magma cracks in stone.
By Russel Biles.
A self-described “son of the South,” Russell Biles was born, raised, and still lives in the southern U.S. Biles is a studio artist in Greenville, SC, who is best known for his small, carefully crafted, colorful porcelain figures, which confront the direction in which society is moving and find it severely lacking. Biles uses such American icons as the Cleavers and the Cartwrights as well as contemporary newsmakers to satirize social, religious, and political issues and to engage the viewer in the discussion. Biles employs irony and satire in his work and believes that the humor inherent in satire tempers the critique and hopefully produces a thoughtful reaction rather than an automatic rejection. As important to Biles as the message is the craftsmanship of his work, the quality that gives the work integrity and cements his position as a noted artist whose work is included in a number of both private and public collections.
Simply a lovely porcelain figurine from an American artist!
