"Quand on Aime, Tout EST Plaisir: After Fragonard" by Molly Hatch, USA, 2011

About the Item

Molly Hatch "Quand on Aime, Tout EST Plaisir: After Fragonard" 2011 USA Unique Hand-thrown porcelain plates and inlaid underglaze, hardware, and epoxy. Molly Hatch'"Quand on Aime, Tout EST Plaisir: After Fragonard" was recently exhibited in the "New Blue and White" at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston (February 17-July 14th 2013). Hatch is a contemporary artist who treats ceramic plates as surfaces on which she paints figural and abstract scenes inspired by 18th and 19th century art, in this particular case she was inspired by the paintings of Jean-Honore´ Fragonard. Hatch uses Mishima, a Japanese slip inlay technique. According to Emily Zilber, curator at the MFA Boston, who included "Quand on Aime, Tout EST Plaisir: After Fragonard" in her recent exhibition, "New Blue and White", its blue lines create a cross-hatched image that can only be read in its entirety when viewing the whole installation. Individually, each plate provides a second frame for Hatch's drawing. This allows for both figural and abstract representation, and speaks to moments of invention inherent in the translation between the printed image and its source. Hatch studied drawing, painting, printmaking and ceramics and received her BFA at the Museum School in Boston in 2000. After several ceramic residencies and apprenticeships in the US and abroad, she received her MFA in ceramics at the University of Colorado in Boulder in 2008. In 2009, she was awarded the prestigious Arts/Industry Residency in the Pottery at the John Michael Kohler Arts Center in Wisconsin which laid the foundation for her career as an artist designer with many retailers worldwide. Hatch's work has been widely collected and commissioned and exhibited at art fairs nationally and internationally. This has been an important year for Hatch, she had her first solo museum exhibition at the Philadelphia Art Alliance from February 7- April 28, 2013 and was included in a contemporary decorative art exhibition at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston titled "New Blue and White" from February 17-July 14th 2013. Hatch is currently preparing for a major installation of her work at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta in February 2014 and Chronicle Books will be publishing a book of her work in the spring of 2015.

Parallel, USA
By Molly Hatch
Located in New York, NY
Molly Hatch’s latest installation, Parallel, continues her process of deconstructing historic imagery through an installation of triangular shaped wall tiles that create a large scale, three-dimensional ceramic lenticular. The graphic work, with its painterly black and white pastoral scene, is further interrupted by a series of graduating lines rendered in gold luster along the left side of the installation. In the past decade, the name Molly Hatch has become synonymous with contemporary ceramics. Hatch’s ceramic installations...

By Molly Hatch

Using ceramic surfaces as her canvas Hatch extends her historically-inspired contemporary repertoire with Memento, a wall installation comprised of 35 hands painted plates. The central image of the work, a large vase of vibrantly painted flowers is derived from 17th century Dutch painting, more specifically “pronkstilleven” (Dutch for ‘ostentatious still life’). Each round surface serves as a canvas for the artist’s brush strokes; together, the plates reveal the intricate abstract floral motif of their source material. Bridging the gap decorative and fine art the glazed surfaces of earthenware plates collectively become a fragmented canvas for Hatch’s delicate, painterly re-rendering. In the past decade, the name Molly Hatch has become synonymous with contemporary ceramics. Hatch’s ceramic installations...
