AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
More information on www.maxmodolo.com
Weight 1.60 kg.
Stoneware sculpture vase made entirely by hand using the Japanese Kurinuki technique.
A unique and organic work, characterized by irregular forms, natural cavities and a strong sculptural expressiveness. The surface, rich in texture, crater-like 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 ceramic stoneware 1230 °C
Technique: Kurinuki (direct carving from solid block)
Color: natural matte ivory white with celadon glaze.
This piece perfectly combines 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. Unique piece, signed by the artist on the bottom. Conditions: Excellent condition, without defects or restorations. Ideal for collectors of contemporary ceramics, lovers of Japanese ceramics and organic art.
Max Modolo creates these ceramics in his studio in Italy.
His research concerns the forms of ceramics and their finishing.
He is very interested in glazes obtained by artists such as Guido Gambone and Marcello Fantoni and has always been drawn to the shapes of Lucie Rie and Hans Coper. More information on www.maxmodolo.com
