About the Item

'Run' is a unique handmade porcelain book and wall lighting 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; cloisonné 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-how 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 École supérieure 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 à 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 Musée Magnelli for the XXIIIth “Biennale internationale de la céramique et création contemporaine” in Vallauris, France in July-November 2014. ‘Insomnio’ is her most recent production.
