Glazed Ceramic Light Sculpture by Birthe Aksby, Denmark, 1970s
About the Item
Expressive light sculpture by Danish ceramicist Birthe Aksby, crafted in glazed ceramic with organic designs inspired by plant forms and marine corals. The composition evokes natural growth, with volumes emerging from a textured and perforated structure, allowing light to flow through its openings and create an atmospheric play of shadows. The pale glazed patina enhances its sculptural presence, lending it an ethereal character and an almost mineral quality.
Birthe Aksby, active in Denmark during the second half of the 20th century, is renowned for her mastery of fine ceramics and her exploration of nature-inspired forms. Alongside this remarkable piece, a newspaper clipping was found mentioning her work exhibited at Galerie Gammel Strand in Copenhagen, alongside ceramicist Lizzie Thyssen, in a show distinguished by its technical refinement and innovative approach to the material. It is highly likely that this piece was part of that exhibition. Titled Lysskulptur, Vaekst (Light Sculpture, Growth), it reflects her mastery in merging art, functionality, and light.
