奇趣陶瓷雕塑 | Arlene Shechet 的禅意之作

New York-based multidisciplinary artist 

Arlene Shechet

’s playful practice consistently pushes the boundaries of what sculpture can be. Across plaster, porcelain, clay, and paper, she has worked extensively in ceramics, crafting a visual language that breaks many of the medium’s given rules—for example,

 firing clay at odd temperatures, applying glaze where there should be paint, and incorporating kiln bricks into the armature of the sculpture itself.

       总部位于纽约的多学科艺术家Arlene Shechet的俏皮实践一直在推动雕塑的界限。在石膏，瓷器，粘土和纸张上，她广泛使用陶瓷，制作了一种视觉语言，打破了许多媒介的规则 - 例如，在奇怪的温度下烧制粘土，在应该有涂料的地方涂上釉料，并加入窑 砖块进入雕塑本身的电枢。

She takes advantage of the inherent hollow nature of ceramics to produce astonishing, often lopsided objects that challenge gravity to hover on the brink of collapse. With their visceral texture and suggestive forms, Shechet’s works toe the line between the beautiful and the grotesque. Shechet often employs cast molds in her work, not only to give shape to her sculptures but also to record her process.

       她利用陶瓷固有的空心特性来制造令人惊讶的不对称的物体，挑战重力悬浮在崩溃的边缘。凭借其内在的纹理和暗示形式，Shechet的作品彰显了美丽与怪诞之间的界限。Shechet经常在她的作品中使用铸模，不仅要塑造她的雕塑，还要记录她的工艺。
