This contemporary artwork features a collection of simple, minimalist sculptural pieces. The visual elements consist of a combination of geometric shapes and textures, including wooden blocks, metal clamps, and crumpled black fabric. The subject matter appears to be a series of abstract, seemingly functional objects, arranged in a cohesive display. The artistic style and technique employed are characterized by a reductive, almost industrial aesthetic, with a focus on the materials and their inherent qualities. The context of this piece suggests an exploration of form, function, and the boundaries between art and everyday objects, reflecting the artist's intention to challenge traditional notions of sculpture and its role in contemporary art. ...
Taking inspiration from both Figurative and Modernist Sculpture, Charlotte Dualé creates beguiling ceramic pieces which are all at once familiar and indistinguishable. Adopting a collage-like approach to sculpture, Dualé brings varying materials such as latex, porcelain and metal together with her ceramic forms, applying glazes and highly pigmented paints to bind these elements. Concerned with the unpredictability of memory and language, recognisable forms are warped and reborn by Dualé, mimicking hazily recollected moments or sentences misshaped by translation. Feminist Art is also a key influence on Dualé's practice, clearly seen in her Impuzzibil (Impossible) series, where the female form is fragmented and scattered throughout the collection. The poetic titles of Dualé’s sculptures are also an integral aspect of her practice. These appellations add further lyrical quality to each series, and when displayed together, these labels draw in the ephemeral threads of spirituality, sensuality and memoir, which orbit Dualé’s practice. ...
