The beautiful dark of Emil Melmoth, Sculptures. (b.1986 – Mexico)
Macabre visual artist caught by the amazing wonders of Death culture.
Emil Melmoth travaille la vie, la mort et inversement.. nous déforme, nous malforme dans l’apparente projection qu’il nous renvoie par ses œuvres.
« Study of death » ci dessous est vraiment magistrale..

Beautiful ceramics that look like wood of Sculptor Christopher David White (USA)

Ses sculptures hyper réalistes sont faites d’argile. A partir de moulages ou moulage – il reproduit la texture du bois dans ses moindres détails. Un vrai trompe-l’oeil :
«Je cherche à exposer la beauté qui résulte souvent de la pourriture tandis que, en même temps, je renvoie au spectateur leur propre perception du monde. »
« I seek to expose the beauty that often results from decay while, at the same time, making my viewer question their own perception of the world around them. To accomplish this, I begin by observing instances of decay within my surroundings that I find inspiring due to form, color, or texture. With clay as my medium of choice I then meticulously render by hand those elements, taking advantage of clay’s innate ability to mimic a wide variety of materials. I utilize trompe l’oeil as a stylistic choice to emphasize the concept that our understanding of the world is an illusion. The juxtaposition of natural and man-made features in combination with the skewing of scale, proportion, and material, helps in creating an altered perception – forcing the viewer to look closer. »

Johnson Tsang – Sculpture « Oops »
Johnson Tsang travaille à Hong Kong, il crée des sculptures en porcelaine, en acier inoxydable et participe à des projets d’art public.
Tsang met sa technique au service de son imagination surréaliste, et ses sculptures rassemblent souvent l’intégration des 2 éléments, «êtres humains» et «objets».
Depuis 1993, les œuvres de Tsang ont été exposées à Hong Kong, Taiwan, en Corée, Espagne, Suisse et collectées par les musées et des collectionneurs locaux et étrangers.
Son travail, notamment ses « bébés » me font beaucoup penser aux sculptures de Ronit Baranga dans l’expression.
///
Sculptor based in Hong Kong who focuses on ceramics, stainless steel sculptures and public art project.
Tsang’s works mostly employ realist sculptural techniques accompanied by surrealist imagination, integrating the two elements, “human beings” and “objects”, into creative themes. Since 1993, Tsang’s works have been exhibited in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea, Spain and Switzerland and collected by local and overseas museums and collectors.
His work, especially his « babies » make me think of Ronit Baranga’ sculptures.

Chris Riccardo – Sculpture – Cocaine Cowboy
« My sculptures are a direct physical manifestation of my inner thoughts and moral struggles. They are frozen moments in time ripped from the on going struggle that takes place in my mind. The battle between good and evil, right and wrong and quite honestly a multitude of both morally and ethically questionable thoughts.
My head is swimming with insecurities and feelings that sometimes make it an uncomfortable place to be. I want my viewers to share in this discomfort, to really feel what it is like to spend a minute in my mind. If one walks away from my work and feels somewhat violated, excited, intrigued, and maybe even a little happier, than they truly know who I am, and I have succeeded.
My process begins with a thought, a vision, a look, a trigger that draws me to the clay. Gone are the days of exhaustive preliminary sketches and maquettes, I simply visualize how I want the clay to look and begin to throw it into a solid mass. Slowly and painstakingly I begin to build and tear at the surface, gradually making aesthetic changes as I see fit. »

Le charmant bestiaire de Sophie Favre (France), née en 1950 d’une mère céramiste et d’un père peintre et dessinateur.
« Après des études aux Beaux Arts de Paris, Sophie Favre apprend à travailler la terre avec sa mère et se passionne très vite pour cette matière qui lui permet d’imaginer et de donner corps à des personnages ou à des animaux, d’abord au tour comme les céramistes, puis par modelage. Chargées de sentiments subtils, les « créatures » de Sophie Favre ont le don de susciter l’identification par de menus détails. S’il ne s’agit pas de caricatures, elles semblent pourtant revendiquer leur caractère comique et maladroit, et c’est ce qui les rend furieusement attachantes.
Aujourd’hui, l’œuvre de Sophie Favre est reconnue internationalement, elle figure dans les grandes collections et la revue « Miroir de l’Art » a élu l’artiste parmi les « Révélations de l’année 2012 ». (Source texte : ALQUIER100)
Art of Clare Ferguson-Walker. (UK) Figuratives sculptures
Through my work I aim to communicate the human condition from as many angles as I can see. I often draw upon elements of folklore and mythology, as I believe that certain stories carry age old truths woven into our collective sub-conscious which often have moral, emotional and physical relevance, regardless of time period or cultural status. I am drawn over and over again to using the human form as my starting point. as I believe that the physical body can and does communicate in a universal language. Each of us communicates using body language on a daily basis, often involuntarily, therefore it is a pure truthful language often revealing emotions that we would otherwise choose to hide. My figures are deliberately distorted, they come from another realm, my own personal world. Their forms also attempt to re-write our often limited views of what is considered beautiful. They are subtly rebellious.
I believe that the imagination is the channel by which the subconscious communicates with the conscious mind, and I believe that symbolism and metaphor are the languages that it uses. Therefore I freely allow my imagination to come up with scenes and concepts which I then turn into an object or image. My sculptures and paintings can be interpreted in the same way as one would interpret a dream, objects, creatures and positions carry hidden meanings to be unraveled. The subsequent narrative which I see developing is the plot line of my attempt to rationalize this world and my existence with in it. My work often deals with memory, loss as well as hope and the celebration of life itself. I love working with clay and I feel that the process of firing is something akin to alchemy, changing one substance into another. It allows for experimentation and always comes with the element of potential loss, making it a delicate and often heartbreaking art form.
I also love working with bronze, I love the excitement of the foundry process and I like the permanence of the material. I know that after I am gone, there will be a little of myself immortalized in my sculptures.
Horrific and fascinating sculptures Sarah Louise Davey. (USA)
Sarah Louise Davey – Buttercup sculpture
Disturbing beautiful sculptures by Sarah Louise Davey are painted ceramic, embodying creatures with tortured, glazed stares, and strange growths either covering their eyes or framing them like sick, rotten petals of flesh carved out around an astonishingly open iris. They look like paintings on porcelain, and the bold, dark lines sketching their features out against the chalky whiteness of the ceramic hold a horrific and fascinating quality.
Inquietantes sculptures de Sarah Louise Davey, incarnant des créatures torturées, aux regards vitreux, avec souvent des excroissances étranges – couvrant les yeux ou la bouche. Ses sculptures ont un aspect porcelaine, une blancheur crayeuse leur donnant une aura nauséabonde et fascinante.

Nancy Kubale – Sculptures figuratives
In a body of work there is a common thread of expression and exploration that binds it together. My sculpture addresses the pursuit of Truth (trying to figure out what and how things really are) . I am intrigued by what we think, do and say, by who we are and how we live and the ideologies we embrace.
