About the Item

This midcentury ceramic wall plaque features a metal Virgin Mary statuette. The ceramic plaque is adorned with a painted red lava texture, evoking a sense of mysticism that mirrors the mental landscape of the Virgin Mary. The juxtaposition of the textured background with the metal statuette enhances the depth and complexity of the piece. This artwork invites viewers to contemplate the intersection of materiality and spirituality, offering a unique interpretation of the Virgin Mary's presence and significance within the context of midcentury art. 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. In the process known as "iconographic synthesis," artists merge artistic expression with traditional religious iconography, blending established symbols, motifs, and narratives with contemporary artistic styles. This thoughtful and deliberate endeavor demands both artistic skill and a profound understanding of the cultural and spiritual significance of the subject matter. Through this synthesis, artists create works that reflect their individual creativity while honoring centuries-old traditions of religious imagery. The resulting artworks resonate with both aesthetic and spiritual significance, offering viewers a seamless integration of artistic and religious elements.
