Brutalist Mid-century modern Wall Sculpture, Handmade Studio Pottery, Europe
About the Item
This striking wall sculpture exemplifies the innovative spirit of mid-century modern European studio pottery. Crafted with a deep understanding of ceramic materials, this piece presents a unique blend of artistry and craftsmanship. The tactile surface, characterized by an application of 'fat lava' glaze, creates a dynamic contrast of textures that are both visual and sensory.
The abstract form hints at celestial themes, perhaps representing a zodiac sign or a mythological figure, embedded with a series of colored glazed insets that catch the eye and engage the viewer. Each inset is meticulously placed, contributing to the overall narrative of the piece.
The integration of traditional techniques with avant-garde styling speaks to the post-war era's exploration of new forms and expressions. This sculpture is not only a decorative piece but also a historical artifact that reflects the cultural and artistic shifts of its time.
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.
Through this collection, 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.
