Wall panels, murals, frescoes

 

 

 

 

An eclectic collection of murals consisting of bas relief, high relief, frescoes, friezes and mosaics including classic frescoes from ancient Crete and Egypt and stone reliefs from Mesopotamia. A large body of Art Deco wall reliefs and Mid Century murals are also on display with a selection of new contemporary pieces.
Fernand Legers’s ‘Femmes au Perroquet’ (Woman with a Parrot), which he painted nearly 70 years ago, looks stunning in a bronze relief of fluid perspective and completely at home in a new contemporary architectural setting. Likewise William George Mitchell’s ‘Flock of rams’ bas relief facade, created with bronze- faced glass fibre, is bursting with detail and is a fine example of the eternally intriguing Mid Century brutalist architecture and art. He was the first artist to create integral pieces of concrete art, which were poured into molds at the site  and despite receiving much criticism from the art establishment at the time, he endured with creating his bold abstract public sculpture innovations which has gone on to create continued interest to otherwise drab walls of concrete. (wharfrej),
An excellent 1946 cubist sculpture panel by Le Corbusier is shown along with a lavish bronze African panel from Bruce Onobrakpeya.

'Femmes au Perroquet'is a 1952 bronze relief art sculpture by Fernand Leger found in the brand new Citygarden in downtown St. Louis, Missouri.

‘Femmes au Perroquet’ —   1952 bronze relief art sculpture by Fernand Leger

Léger believed in the 30’s that ‘modern art’ represented the dawn of a new and potentially transformational social consciousness — presenting the opportunity to bring art out of the studio and into the everyday sensibility of the public.

“My childhood experience of the cultural environment of Urhobo and Benin formed the artistic bedrock on which I continue to build,” Bruce explained. “My early exposure to these arts sustained my artistic expressions by giving me access to a world of imagination, through bridging the thin gap between realism, surrealism and abstraction.”

Ceramic wall art, panels and plaques

Vintage 60’s Italian modernist wall plaque

 

Ceramic panels and plaques adorned the walls of many homes in the 50’s and 60’s and were a regular feature in decorating. During this era, contemporary design was strongly influenced by Italy, France, Scandinavia and the United States. The Italian input into home furnishings appeared early in the postwar period and their adoption of modernist/abstract styles helped define the ” contemporary look ” of this time. They added more flair to the modernist features which were already prevalent in Scandinavian design. Unconventional shapes and forms were combined with bold, striking colours so as to compliment the radical, innovative architecture that was also popular then. The ceramic panels and plaques were an ideal vehicle for expressing the characteristic geometric, modernist designs and shapes. Their generally larger size was needed to accommodate the flourishing creativity of this progressive era.

Ceramic artist David Stabley has been working with clay for over 30 years. His current work is inspired by dream imagery and his desire to create fantasy situations. He is fascinated by the mysteries of the universe and inspired by works of Marc Chagall, Grant Wood, and Pablo Picasso.

I am interested in telling stories about dreams and fantasy, and inviting the viewer to participate in my work.

” Propelling Forward ” – Janine Sopp

Ceramic artist Janine Sopp creates one-of-a-kind pieces and collections in her studio in Brooklyn, NY. She spent the first seven years of her career designing clothing and textiles. With this rich and varied experience, she traveled across Europe and Morocco, where she uncovered her deeper artistic desire of molding clay. The artist favors clay because it is a responsive medium that indulges her passion for texture and color.

 Winged Horse Plaque – Pegasus -Anne Shulenberger

” Here’s my winged horse plaque after its second raku firing. It was quite drab after the first firing so I painted it some more with various underglazes and glazes before putting it back into the kiln.  As you can see, unfortunately it broke in two during the process – but otherwise it turned out much better this time. “

This stylized Art Deco tile plaque features a horse and foal. Executed in the Egyptian Revival style by Walter Bosse  – Worked at the Karlsruhe pottery and produced fanciful animal forms. 1930’s
