'Horse', a Unique Handmade Porcelain Book and Table Light Sculpture
About the Item
‘Horse‘ is a unique handmade porcelain book and table light sculpture. It is part of the ‘Insomnio’ collection, a set of 21 striking porcelain books handmade by French visual artist Charlotte Cornaton, 28 years old, in the famous historic workshops of Jingdezhen, China, during her residency in 2014.
In this collection, the artist used the three main ancestral Chinese techniques of incised porcelain: celadon glaze, a porcelain engraving skill; cobalt calligraphy, a porcelain painting method; cloisonne´ glaze, a drawing technique. Each porcelain book is presented on a patinated steel lectern lit by hidden LEDs. The collection includes table and wall lighting pieces. Each piece includes a dimmable ballast to vary illuminance at will.
Honed with acute precision, ‘Insomnio’ captures the viewer’s gaze, like an open fragment of reality, an enigmatic apparition from the realm of hallucination. ‘’Insomnio is the library of my nightmares and their symbolism, explains the artist.. Each book refers to a specific oniric moment using Jung dream interpretation.’’ ‘Insomnio’ thus uses oriental know-ho to express the artist’s western form of thought, incarnating the exchange and symbiosis of cultures.
Born in Paris in 1986, Charlotte Cornaton was trained in the art of ceramics at the Central Saint Martins School in London in 2008 where she was mentored by Anthony Quinn. In 2009, she graduated top of her class from the E´cole supe´rieure d’arts graphiques (Esag) Penninghen in Paris.
Visual artist and video maker, she works in a transcultural spirit through video and ceramics to address social issues such as contemporary vanitas, criticism of appearances or femininity. Since 2010, Charlotte Cornaton annually participes in the ‘Chambres a` Part’ group exhibition curated by Laurence Dreyfus as part of the private Fiac itinerary. In 2012, she produced ‘Corpus Femina,’ a project involving three ceramic costumes about femininity, during her residency at the European Ceramics Workcentre (EKWC) at S’Hertogenbosch in the Netherlands. ‘Corpus Femina’ was selected and presented in the Muse´e Magnelli for the XXIIIth “Biennale internationale de la ce´ramique et cre´ation contemporaine” in Vallauris, France in July-November 2014.

- 'Sea Anemone' Sculpture by Pia Maria RaederBy Pia-Maria Raeder 1Located in Paris, FRFrom simple beech rods that were patiently cut, sanded, arranged and lacquered, Pia Maria Raeder creates refined sculptures which evoke biomorphic forms. Each work is handcrafted by the artist. 2,000 beech rods were necessary to produce this 'Sea Anemone' sculpture. “In my work with beech rods, I love the challenge of overcoming the contradictions in the material as I play with it. Natural beech rods are straight, but combined at different heights, these rods take on a new form resembling a wave with shadowy reflections. A wooden rod, that is rigid in itself, becomes soft and rounded once sanded. The application of lacquer on the rods arranged in large numbers transforms the wood and underlines its movements.” Emancipated from its limits, the wood is offered a newfound freedom.
