Small Works, Great Artists 

Erskine, Hall & Coe present their second annual Small Works, Great Artists exhibition.

running till 19 March 2020

 

Maintaining the gallery’s tradition of representing exceptionally accomplished, international artists, EHC are delighted to introduce the work of Ryūichi Kakurezaki, one of the great living Japanese ceramicists.

Among the many highlights of this show is a colourful sculpture by the legendary Ron Nagle. Two other notable works on display, Châtaigne by Élisabeth Joulia and a bowl by Alev Ebüzziya Siesbye, come from the special Fina Gomez Collection. Gomez, photographer and founder of the Fina Gomez Foundation, amassed over 500 pieces by famous potters, and in 1991 her collection was exhibited at the Musée des Arts décoratifs in Paris.

The exhibition comprises over 40 works by 21 makers coming from nine countries.

Muse and creator – Lydia Corbett

A bevy of artists had an ongoing intrigue with the creative exploits of Pablo Picasso in France during the Mid Century and that fascination was further enhanced when Sylvette David (Lydia Corbett} became his muse in the 50’s. Her distinctive blond hair and ponytail inspired decorative illustrations of stylized females on countless art objects during this era. Picasso had observed her enigmatic, ethereal beauty from his studio window in rue du Fournas, in Vallauris, for over 12 months before he began to use her as a model for painting and sculptures in 1954. He produced over 60 art pieces during his prolific “Sylvette phase” where he captured her youthful exhuberance in a variety of mediums and styles. As a muse, she relished the opportunity to spend time with Picasso and witness how he worked in silence, while in deep concentration, with a calm descending upon his chaotic studio. Picasso said that when he went into his studio, he left his body outside. She acknowledged that this contemplative appraoch possesses the ability to lead you to an inner world closer to you own soul. Picasso also stated that “Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.”

Lydia went on to become an artist in her own right and believes that her time with Picasso and the artist communities in Southern France had a tangible influence on her art. She is still working as an artist at the age of 85, drawing inspiration from the sea and moorlands near he home in South Devon and from animals such as horses and doves.

She has also been influenced by the Japanese artist Hokusai, who claimed that by the age of 73, he partly understood the structure of animals, birds, insects and fishes, and the life of grasses and plants. With further progress, he intended to penetrate their secret meaning by the age of 90 and by 100, he felt that perhaps he might truly reach the level of the marvelous and the divine. “When I reach 110, each dot, each line will possess a life of its own” he said. He was in it for the long haul and I feel Lydia also intends to aspire to these chronological, mystical concepts.

Uplifting floral decor

 

 

Floral arrangement with French pottery

 

Probably the simplest way to introduce vibrationally uplifting energy into an indoor environment is with fresh flowers and plants. For intrinsically pure chi, refreshing fragrances and captivating colours they cannot be surpassed. Extremely versatile for decorative design, they introduce the captivating elements of rejuvenation, rebirth, beauty, growth, renewal and optimism. Decorative 3D objects that recreate images of flowers and botanicals also can have a comparable impact, particularly with ceramics because of their ability to reproduce vivid colours and fine detail.

Each flower has a distinctive color, fragrance and essence that reinforces their unique signature. For styling, colour combinations and simplicity they are a design masterclass. It’s always a pleasure observing how they are adapted and interpreted in design and decoration.
