Brutalist ceramic wall sculpture 'Sunflower' Style Paul Vermeire / Perignem 1960s/70s - Plaque - Stoneware

Beautiful Brutalist ceramic wall object in the shape of a stylized sunflower, dating from the 1960s/70s.

This sculpture is made in the recognizable tradition of the famous Flemish ateliers such as Perignem and designers like Paul Vermeire.

The object is built from bold, expressive relief forms and finished with a fantastic contrasting glaze. The core of the flower features a warm, deep yellow/orange glaze with dark 'Fat Lava' details, which beautifully contrasts with the dark, metallic tones of the leaves and stem. This gives the piece a very strong, modernist appearance that fits perfectly in a Mid-Century Modern or Brutalist interior.
