16-Inch Modernist Studio Pottery Wall Crucifix - Handmade in Europe

About the Item

This 16-inch modernist studio pottery wall crucifix, meticulously crafted in Europe, showcases a unique design. It features a wall cross with chartreuse and brown moss-like texture, accompanied by a brown Jesus Christ figure. The portrayal of Christ exhibits a soft, downward-leaning head on a fluid and realistically modernist body, achieving a balance between delicate figurative abstraction and powerful raw brutalism. This sizable 16-inch masterpiece adds a subtle yet impactful presence to the space. Hand-signed by the artist. Our European cross collection (Tradition & Modernism) is composed of one-of-a-kind, handcrafted pieces made by Studio Pottery artists from the 1950s to 1970s. They show a range of diverse styles, from modernism to brutalism. Each artist has taken a unique approach to depict faith through the language of art and the medium of ceramics. This large collection offers an opportunity to curate a custom wall of modernist crucifixes, and appeals to those who appreciate the symbolism and beauty of religious artifacts.
