Anne Francey
Birds & Geometry No. 2 (Abstract Ceramic Tile Painting of Birds in Blue & Green)

2012

About the Item

Abstract ceramic tile painting of green birds against dark blue and accents of yellow and orange 13 x 13 inches Earthenware, ceramic glazes on panel This unique hanging ceramic tile was crafted by Saratoga, NY-based artist Anne Francey. The composition combines abstracted bird designs and geometric patterns in a shocking combination of lemon yellow, tangerine, jade, and cool slate, with hatched crimson accents. A slightly rough surface texture reinforces the handmade quality of the piece, yet the overall thinness of the piece ensures that it maintains a sense of elegance. The piece hovers just slightly off of the wall due to a small mount on back. About the Birds and Geometry series: Anne Francey writes, 'The tile-like ceramic pieces are to be hung on a wall like paintings. The relationship between geometric patterns and various configurations reflects on our need to find meaning in the events that shape our lives. But while geometric designs inevitably incorporate the unpredictable nature of the hand and fire that modeled it, more organic shapes strive to find a semblance of order.' About the artist: Anne Francey’s observation of the natural world has always been the point of departure in her clay work, evolving into a constant oscillation between representation and abstraction, organic shapes and geometric order, what's being shown and what's being hidden. Whether starting from a flower, a twig, an insect or a moss. Francey simplifies and flattens their shapes, blurring their visual identity in order to reveal a hidden meaning. Of her work, the artist states, “Could these abstracted forms of insects and plants, hardened for ever in the fired clay, become imprints of the past one day, like fossils of a bygone era?” Anne Francey currently resides in Saratoga Springs, New York.
