Contemporary earthy Ceramic Nagwag floor lamp by Jan Ernst
About the Item
In response to the OWN brief seeking an interpretation of a 'games room,' Jan Ernst offers a unique perspective drawn from his own upbringing on the African continent. Unlike the conventional notion of a games room confined within city walls, Jan's childhood playground stretched across the untamed landscapes where the earth itself became his canvas for creativity and exploration.
For Jan, toys weren't manufactured in factories; they were born from the earth itself. Along the riverbanks and in the treetops, Jan fashioned his own transient game room, constructing mud villages and sculpting figures from wild clay and other organic materials. Adventure awaited at every turn, whether herding cattle or shearing sheep in the traditional kraal enclosures. The kraal, with its circular enclosure designed to safeguard livestock, became a focal point of play and merriment for Jan and his companions. It was here, amidst the rhythms of farm life, that Jan discovered the boundless potential of the natural world as a playground.
Drawing from these formative experiences, Jan's ceramic wall mural embodies a sense of fluidity and childlike whimsy. Organic shapes and playful forms dance across the surface, evoking the carefree spirit of youth. Hidden nooks, crannies, and small projections invite viewers to embark on their own journey of discovery, while the textured surface pays homage to the rich tapestry of nature..
Crafted from white stoneware clay and glazed in a high gloss finish, the mural measures 1.6 x 1.7-meter. Light dances off the surface, accentuating the organic shapes and infusing the space with a sense of vitality and joy.
Jan Ernst invites viewers to rediscover the magic of childhood adventure, where imagination knows no bounds and every moment is infused with possibility.
Jan Ernst is a multidisciplinary creative specializing in functional art and spatial design using clay as his main medium. The work is driven by his fascination with natural structures such as corals, fungi and rock formations. His organic designs stem from his abstract understanding of form and space influenced by his background in architecture, his connection with the natural world and his South African heritage.
