Description from the seller
HERVÉ ROUSSEAU (born 1955) – Stoneware lamp with calligraphic decoration – Boisbelle, La Borne
A beautiful, imposing table lamp resting on a stoneware base made by French ceramic artist Hervé Rousseau, a leading figure in contemporary French ceramics and the La Borne school.
The base has an elegant, generously curved ovoid shape, characterized by subtle throwing marks.
The surface displays remarkable natural firing variations, blending deep brown, ochre, orangey red, and pinkish beige tones.
An abstract, calligraphic white design made up of free-flowing, intersecting lines animates the upper part of the ceramic and creates a particularly striking contrast with the warm colors of the stoneware.
The piece is topped with a large, conical lampshade in ecru fabric, which accentuates its sculptural character.
The artist
Born in 1955, Hervé Rousseau settled in Boisbelle in 1981, near the famous potters’ village of La Borne in the Cher department.
His work is distinguished by his ongoing exploration of stoneware, gesture, and the natural effects of wood firing.
A recognized artist on the international contemporary ceramics scene, Hervé Rousseau is represented in several public collections, including the National Museum of Ceramics in Sèvres and the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris.
