Architectural Devil with Pitchfork and Flames, Wall Decoration, Studio Pottery
About the Item
This ceramic wall decoration, a product of modernist Studio Pottery in Europe, portrays an architectural red devil holding a pitchfork amidst flames. The piece is characterized by vibrant red enamel tones, which shine through a super glossy clear glaze.
The devil's demeanor is peaceful, with delicate handling of the pitchfork, held elegantly from his arched fingertips. This figure's style and posture is reminiscent of the ornate sculptures found on the facades of churches and limestone buildings throughout Europe. It captures the essence of carved stone ornaments.
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.
