Cezanne's Swan
I have long been drawn to and captivated by the work of the Impressionists. They were revolutionary in their time, seeing and depicting the world through a new and different lens, with a daring way of interpreting colour, form and subject matter, using chunky brushstrokes to leave an ‘impression’ of what they saw. I love the bold representations and textured colour of Cezanne’s work and love the idea that a functional item can also double as a work of art, on display when it is out of action.
I’ve used Cezanne’s painting ‘Leda and the Swan’ as my reference for this work, accentuating the colours and highlighting her fierce red locks. This is a free hand painting using layers of underglaze colours and bold brush strokes.
Each platter is created using a slab rolling method and the design selected for its unique shape, no two are the same. The platter is based with a double foot to elevate the platter and for extra stability.
