Description from the seller
More information at www.maxmodolo.com
Weight 3.20 kg.
Stoneware vase sculpture made entirely by hand using the Japanese Kurinuki technique.
A unique and organic piece, characterized by irregular shapes, natural cavities and a strong sculptural expressivity. The surface, rich in texture, craters and grooves, recalls coral formations or rocks eroded by time, creating an object with a strong visual and tactile impact.
Technical details: Material: high-temperature stoneware ceramic 1230 °C
Technique: Kurinuki (direct carving from solid block)
This piece perfectly blends function and sculpture: it can be used as a decorative vase or simply admired as an autonomous work of art. Its presence is imposing and sophisticated, perfect for modern, minimalist or wabi-sabi interiors. One of a kind, signed by the artist on the bottom. Conditions: Excellent condition, no defects or restorations. Ideal for collectors of contemporary ceramics, lovers of Japanese ceramics and organic art.
Max Modolo produces these ceramics in his studio in Italy.
His research concerns the shapes of ceramics and their finish.
He is very interested in the glazes obtained by artists such as Guido Gambone and Marcello Fantoni and has always been attracted by the shapes of Lucie Rie and Hans Coper. More information at www.maxmodolo.com
