Large Studio Ceramic Lamp by Post-War Artist Alan Wallwork, London 1964
By Alan Wallwork
Located in London, GB
A 1960s lamp, the base being a large piece of work by post-war London ceramicist, Alan Wallwork (1931-2019). Original shade. A strong sculptural design, handbuilt and decorated with Wallwork's own runic symbols; finished in a mixture of glazes in natural tones from light oatmeal to deep grey. The piece is in good original condition with the characteristics one might expect of a handmade piece, including minor imperfections, asymmetry and firing cracks; a short clay tear to the base, most likely from the drying process. A piece from Wallwork's London years, signed and dated to the underside "W 64". Shade The large statement shade fits through a duplex carrier (included). The shade is in good vintage condition overall with some wear to the string cover, which is fragile in places, light dust and fading. Wiring The wiring will need to be replaced in the country of install to meet local needs and regulations. The original switched bulb-holder takes a standard bayonet-fitting bulb. We advise a low-heat bulb (eg LED) with an opaque finish to protect the piece for the future and diffuse the light through the shade. Approximate dimensions H: 97cm including shade / 57.5cm ceramic only Dia: 52cm at the shade Wallwork set up his first studio in south London, in the late 1950s, sharing with other former Goldsmith students, then with fellow potter Bernard Rooke. Both Wallwork and Rooke were regarded as belonging to the group of handbuilders of the 1960s, which included Ruth Duckworth, Gillian Lowndes, Ian Auld and Gordon...

A porcelain sculpture by Wayne Fischer, 2022
By Wayne Fischer
Located in Saint-Ouen, FR
A porcelain sculpture by Wayne Fischer. Perfect original conditions. Signed. Unique piece. 2022. How can an inert object produce deeply unsuspecting, indecipherable, uncontrollable emotions? Wayne Fischer is an artist who can create works that force one to ask such moving questions as this. If he doesn’t know why, if he can’t explain the deepest reasons of his artistic research, he definitely knows the workings and limitations of the artistic process he invented. He has never deviated from the course he set for himself since university; translate life. The works presented here show the evolution of his creations over the past thirty years. If Wayne Fischer has received several international prizes and quickly obtained the recognition of his peers in ceramics, nevertheless he retains a singular position at once unavoidable and disturbing. His sculptures are paradoxical, powerful and sensual, and cause a certain unease. They are beautiful, carnal, touchable, all the while being outside the standard idea of beauty. The ambiguity of attraction and rejection is at the heart of this evolution. The pieces from the 1980s and 90s are imposing by their size, stature and symmetry, which give them balance. They generate surprise, curiosity and play between contrasts that are both soft and aggressive. They reference the body, muscles, and torso, without presenting an exact reality. They are double-faced, seductive, and enigmatic. Wayne’s shapes are inspired by shells, bivalves, sometimes presented as though they are floating in space. But the reference of the marine world to the mysterious female body has only one interpretation and only history and emotion condition the reaction of the spectator: he accepts or refuses to see, to be seduced. He is touched or he flees. The more recent sculptures are appreciated in the fullness of their round volume and the search for a pure universal beauty. “Metamorphosis,” the work recently awarded by the Bettencourt Foundation, is from this series of pieces wheel- thrown and deformed which pushes the porcelain from the inside so the bulges evoke the movement of waves or the musculature of several bodies. The exactness, the clean breaks, the assurance of lines and valleys are testimony to the interior power that governs the creation. The life energy expressed is also felt by the artist as the origin of ceramics. All the pieces are curved and tense. They show no marking, no sign of the hand, no imprints, and yet give an impression of spontaneity, as if a dropped piece of clay found its form by chance. Depending on the angles, the content becomes “the origins of the world...

The life energy expressed is also felt by the artist as the origin of ceramics. All the pieces are curved and tense. They show no marking, no sign of the hand, no imprints, and yet give an impression of spontaneity, as if a dropped piece of clay found its form by chance. Depending on the angles, the content becomes “the origins of the world”. Femininity and sensuality are exalted. Inspired by the body, before and after birth, or simply the sea, the parts of the sculpture conjugate around a mysterious interior cavity, secret and troubling. The interior wall doesn’t correspond to the exterior, and has its own volumes, deformities, and intimacy. The pieces present two kinds of interior: one open, and partially uncovered, the other totally hidden inside. The differences of their respective deformation reinforce the impression of life : the subjective representation of muscles and bones, of bulges pushed by an interior force, like a visceral movement of respiration. The surface of the ceramic is crackled but soft and fine, even reflecting light like the skin. The nuances of color reinforce the expression of sensuality. The alignment of technique and what it causes one to see and feel has rarely been so intimately successful. Wayne Fischer perfected his technique in the 1970s and has remained faithful to it. He adds fibers to porcelain clay that has been chosen for its whiteness to create and accentuate volume around empty space, by assembling slabs or thrown pieces. Then, he makes another piece that takes its place inside; both parts are formed with no hand...
