Alex Johanson - The Mermaid - hand made

Glazed and painted ceramic. Unique piece of art

Alex Johanson is a contemporary Polish artist. Fascinated by Polish landscape, folklore and history, he creates his original and unconventional works with interesting shapes and colors. Among all of them you can find women with narrow waists, busty women, men in top hats and Lajkonik-woman.

He creates paintings, wood sculptures and ceramic forms, representations of women and men with characteristic noses, bulging eyes and swan necks. These are couples entwined in a loving embrace who communicate with each other through the clear and literal use of their languages. There is also a strange menagerie - sculptures of cats, pigs, sheep heads, several images of roosters and animals of various characters, accompanying the Three Wise Men.

Exhibitions: Poland, Chech Republic, Slovakia, Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Ukraine
