Description from the seller
Pierre-Henri Buestel (1956–2011) — Two glazed ceramic vases, signed and dated 1995
Fine pair of glazed ceramic vases by Pierre-Henri Buestel, each signed at the base with the incised monogram « PHB 95 ».
These two pieces captivate with their rounded shapes, narrowed openings, and the complementary glazes. Presented together, they form a sober and warm duo, revealing two different expressions of the material.
The green vase features nuances of olive green and blue-gray, enriched with ochre touches and fine brown speckles. The variations in the glaze give it beautiful depth and a mineral character.
The brown vase is distinguished by a glossy glaze, a deep brown almost black, interwoven with reddish hues. Light highlights its curves and reveals the finesse of the speckling.
The artist:
Pierre-Henri Buestel, painter, sculptor, and multimedia artist, trained at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris. His work explores several disciplines, including painting, metal, lithography, and ceramics, with particular attention to the material. Exhibited notably at the Connoisseur’s Gallery in Paris, he also had an exhibition at the Maison nationale des artistes in Nogent-sur-Marne in 2017–2018.
