Description from the seller
Elisabeth Vandeweghe (born 1946) & Perignem – Important ceramic architectural sculpture/ mural panel (c. 1970)
Important and spectacular wall sculpture (or decorative panel) in chamotté ceramic with a sculptural relief, created by the Belgian ceramic artist Elisabeth Vandeweghe for the famous Perignem workshop in Beernem.
The piece presents a raw, organic abstract composition, cut around its contour. The surface is covered with a fine, satin, ochre-yellow glaze intricately woven, rhythmically animated by a rich play of relief: circular cabochons with a very bright glaze in “blood red” / “copper red,” dark relief inlaid discs with stamped patterns, small tubular cells, and an impressive central medallion glazed in bright red and orange molten together.
At the back, the red-brown earthenware reveals the characteristic grooved texture of the workshop’s hand-modeling and molding, with traces of old adhesive and mounting glue from a wall installation.
Artist: Elisabeth Vandeweghe (born 1946).
Workshop: Perignem (Beernem, Belgium).
Era: Circa 1970 (Mid-Century / Brutalist period).
Technique: Chamotté ceramic, polychrome glazes (ochre, copper red, black/dark).
Dimensions: Height 53.2 cm × Width 34.8 cm × Thickness ~ 4 cm.
Condition:
Perfect overall condition on the visible face.
No cracks, chips, or damage on the glazed ceramic.
On the reverse, the earthenware is raw and shows the original wall-mount adhesive residues, entirely invisible once the piece is placed or hung.
