Weight about 1 kg
Grès ceramic vase with a slender, elongated, and strongly sculptural profile, entirely realized in 3D.
The technique yields deep, fluid, and continuous folds, along with a tapered conical silhouette and a wavy basal opening, revealing complex and dynamic forms that are difficult to achieve with traditional ceramic modeling techniques.
The form develops from a wide and slightly flared base, with an irregular and wavy edge, rising progressively into a slender conical body. The vertical ribs, soft and deep, run the full height of the vase, creating a continuous drapery effect, like pleated fabric or a moving organic form. The folds elegantly draw upward, converging into a slim, tapered neck, ending in a minimal and precise opening.
The overall volume evokes an elongated and dynamic silhouette, almost a frozen wave or a naturally tense element in vertical tension. The glaze, in olive green, dark green, and brown tones, runs in irregular streaks and creates metallic and iridescent reflections that accentuate the relief of the folds and the plasticity of the form.
A work that combines technological innovation with sculptural sensitivity, ideal for collectors of contemporary ceramics and biomorphic design. Ready for display or decorative use.
Technical details: Material: high-temperature stoneware ceramic 1230 °C
Max Modolo produces these ceramics in his studio in Italy.
His research concerns the forms of ceramics and their finish.
He is very interested in glazes developed by artists such as Guido Gambone and Marcello Fantoni and has always been drawn to the forms of Lucie Rie and Hans Coper. More information at www.maxmodolo.com
