DESCRIPTION OF THE WORK
We offer at auction a magnificent and vibrant glazed ceramic by Giorgio Moiso, an eclectic Italian master known for his relentless gesturality. This wall sculpture sits chronologically between the 1990s and the early 2000s, a golden period for the artist's plastic research, marked by his fruitful and historic collaborations with the prestigious Ligurian kilns of Albisola, such as "San Giorgio" and "Manifattura Giuseppe Mazzotti 1903".
The work stands out for an impetuous and luminous use of vitreous matter, a perfect expression of the artist's spatial investigation. The bright colors blend on the surface, creating zones of magmatic density and sudden chromatic intensifications. To confer additional historical importance and uniqueness to the lot, the ceramic is mounted inside a wooden frame handmade by Moiso himself, creating a physical, tactile, and conceptual continuum between the work and its support.
It is a refined piece of very high material quality, perfect for enriching a collection of author ceramics and ceramic sculpture of the twentieth century, further enhanced by the artist's authentic statement and the prestigious exhibition and bibliographic background.
BIOGRAPHICAL AND CRITICAL NOTES ABOUT THE ARTIST
Giorgio Moiso (Cairo Montenotte, 1942 – Savona, 2019) was a renowned Italian painter, ceramist, and musician. Trained at the Art High School "Arturo Martini" in Savona, he united the visual arts with jazz throughout his life, often transforming painting into pure Action Painting performances where gesture, sound, and color merged into an unstoppable energy.
A fundamental and internationally acclaimed chapter of his artistic path is represented by ceramics, a discipline intensely explored thanks to close collaboration with the prestigious kilns of Albisola, including the "Manifattura Giuseppe Mazzotti 1903" and "Ceramiche San Giorgio." In his ceramic works, Moiso renders the vigor of abstract expressionism into the physicality of clay: critics highlight the "magmatic matter" and bold chromatic spaces, used skillfully to give the compositions natural dynamism that invades the surrounding space.
His plastic research has been celebrated in major museum contexts and retrospectives. Among the most significant exhibitions dedicated specifically to his ceramics is remembered the anthological show "Giorgio Moiso: Color, Matter, Gesture," warmly received at the Museo della Ceramica Fornace di Castellamonte (within the historic Ceramics Show). His monumental plastic works appear in international contexts (such as the large panel made with San Giorgio for the Jysk Musikteater in Denmark) and in prestigious permanent installations, like those of the open-air museum in Denice.
