Collection: LeonCéramiques

LEONCERAMIQUES’ LIGHT SCULPTURES ARE HANDCRAFTED IN SMALL SERIES. EACH PIECE IS SIGNED “LEONCE” AND MADE TO ORDER, CREATING A UNIQUE OBJECT. THEY DRAW INSPIRATION FROM 1960S CERAMIC ARTISTS SUCH AS H. HARP, A. BORDERIE, AND V. SCHLEGEL, AS WELL AS FROM “BUBBLE” ARCHITECTURE AND WALKS ALONG THE BRITTANY COASTLINE, THE CERAMIST’S HOMELAND. THEMES OF SEAWEED AND CORAL BLEACHING APPEAR IN SEVERAL SCULPTURES. THE “BALANE” WALL LIGHT SCULPTURES REFLECT THE FRAGILITY OF COASTAL ECOSYSTEMS. BARNACLES, CRUSTACEANS CLOSE TO SHELLFISH AND HIGHLY SENSITIVE TO TEMPERATURE CHANGES, ARE RELIABLE INDICATORS OF THE ECOLOGICAL IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE. THESE OBJECTS, MADE OF RAW CLAY, STONEWARE, OR EARTHENWARE, WITH THEIR SOFT CURVES, BRING A SENSE OF GENTLENESS TO A DAILY LIFE THAT IS SOMETIMES TOO FAR REMOVED FROM NATURE.
