"Massage" Large White Porcelain Vase by Luce Raggi, Italy / China Contemporary

About the Item

Luce Raggi, Massage (food porn), 2017 glazed porcelain 65 x 25 cm Hand-painted vase representing police men, seductive women and amused saints, all dedicated to their passion for Chinese massage. Work with a strong double meaning. Part of a series of vases inspired by Chinese culture realised by the artist during a residency in Jingdezhen, China. Luce Raggi's work is founded upon the assimilation of her everyday experiences be them ordinary or extraordinary. To express her concepts she plays with life and irony as an interesting mental game, communicating through images to the audience. Luce was born in the early 80`s in Faenza, one of the utmost ceramic cities in Italy, and grow up with a black marker pen in her pocket. She moved to Milan where she studied Illustration at the Istituto Europeo di Design (IED) and Painting at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera, partaking also in a one-year exchange program at the London College of Communication (LCC) in the Surface Design and Printmaking department, University of the Arts, London. Luce has since moved in her personal way into the circles of contemporary art with solo and group shows as well as important art residencies around the world, last ones in Italy but also in China, Japan, South Korea and USA. She is now based in Faenza, where she recently opened Casa Studio Raggi in front of the MIC International Museum of Ceramic with her studio as well as an independent gallery space for contemporary art.

  • White Ceramic Sculptural Vase Italian Contemporary, 21st Century contemporary
    By Andrea Salvatori
    Located in London, GB
    "Composizione 40100 #11" (Maestoso con gioco), 2019, glazed earthenware, measures: H 41 x38 x 38cm Mix of hand-made and 3D printed - Unique piece Andrea Salvatori (Italy, 1975) is an internationally renowned visual artist working with the ceramic medium to realize often ironic and witty sculptures, sometimes involving a diverse selection of found objects, such as Murano glass vases, Meissen Porcelain miniatures or Ginori period ceramics sourced in flea markets around Europe. Salvatori’s works often begin with these items and proceed by the addition of elements masterfully created by the artist, generating an unexpected semantic shift. The result is unique, encompassing pop culture and kitsch aesthetics: a witty and effective way to turn reality upside-down and at the same time a powerful combination of exquisite craftsmanship and genuine irony. Andrea Salvatori was born on 3 of March 1975 in Faenza (Ra), Italy; he has graduated at the Istituto d’arte for Ceramic in Faenza in 1995, and he then graduated with a Degree in Sculpture at the Accademia di Belle Arti of Bologna in 2000. During his studies, Andrea learned the secrets of ceramics from the creative duo Bertozzi & Casoni having worked as an apprentice in their studio for many years at the same way as during Renaissance artists learned their practice with their Masters. Since 1997 he had several individual and collective exhibitions. In 2009 he won the first prize at the 56th edition of the prestigious Premio Faenza, the International Contest of Contemporary Art Ceramics, for which he classified second in the prior edition. In 2011 he classified second at the Sidney Myer Fund Australian Ceramic...
