About the Item

Denmark, 2023.
Porcelain.
Unique.
Signed.
Sandra Davolio is an acclaimed contemporary Danish-Italian ceramic artist who has been represented by Modernity for more than ten years. Davolio takes her inspiration from nature and the ceramic traditions of the ancient Etruscan culture. Her technique involves throwing the vessel before applying rolls of wet porcelain to the body of the piece. She then carefully thumbs these into her characteristically delicate fringe-like protrusions, resulting in organic biomorphic forms that resemble corals or blossoms. The play of light on the pleats of the white porcelain is particularly striking.
“Using an unyielding material to achieve my delicate pieces thrills me. In fact, it is precisely this somewhat contradictory aspect that defines my practice.” – Sandra Davolio
Because of the complex structure and thinness of the applied porcelain, Davolio’s pieces are extremely difficult to fire and take weeks to finish. The sizes of her sculptures range from small to monumental, some reaching up to 70 cm / 2' 3 1/2'' inches. As a graduate of the Danish School of Design in Copenhagen, Davolio is influenced by a minimalist Scandinavian design aesthetic.
Davolio’s work is represented in multiple major collections of international museums and institutions, such as the Smithsonian Design Museum's Cooper Hewitt in New York, the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, and the Swedish National Museum in Stockholm.

- White Undulating Ruffled Sculpture, Sandra DavolioBy Sandra DavolioLocated in New York, NYSculptural Vase II, 2023, (Porcelain, C. 8.6 in. h x 8.2 in. diam., Object No.: 4185) Davolio’s sophisticated porcelain works and their organic and natural references are influenced by the Art Nouveau style, the keen interest in the mechanics of futurism, and the minimalist and linear approach typical to Scandinavian Design. In the past 15 years, Davolio has positioned herself as an internationally renowned ceramicist. J. Lohmann Gallery discovered this talented artist in Europe in 2007 and introduced Davolio’s work to the United States in 2008. She has developed a unique oeuvre over several decades that is unparalleled. Her work conveys a deep connection to nature, and in particular to the sea. Davolio herself reveals that she “feels deep devotion and passion while working” and experiences “wonderful peaceful moments when creating something new from raw clay” with her hands. The elaborate porcelain sculptures and vessels suggest organic biomorphic forms, mostly aquatic shapes like coral reefs and undulating leaves. A graduate of The Danish School of Design, Davolio is influenced by the minimalist design aesthetic in Copenhagen, as can be seen in many of the artist’s unique and artistically important creations, in which a series of concentric lamellas emanate from the central column of a vase. She also draws inspiration from the ceramic traditions of ancient Mediterranean...Category
