Brutalist Wall Cross - Lava Texture, Handmade Studio Pottery, Europe

About the Item

This exceptional Brutalist wall cross features a distinctive texture reminiscent of lava on rough stone, with subtle hues of blacks, sometimes exhibiting metallic accents. The charismatic black cross is adorned with long, thin, glossy glazed color rectangles, evoking the stained glass windows found in Le Corbusier's Ronchamp Chapel. This piece exemplifies the essence of Architectural Brutalism at its finest, characterized by its massive, intellectual, and utopian design. Stamped by the Studio. 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.
