Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This contemporary artwork features two intricately designed ceramic vases. The first vase has a translucent, iridescent glaze with organic, swirling patterns in various shades of blue, green, and purple, creating a mesmerizing, kaleidoscopic effect. The second vase has a vibrant, amber-colored glaze adorned with intricate, sculptural handles in the shape of tentacles or sea creatures, evoking a sense of whimsy and the natural world. The artist's masterful use of color, texture, and unconventional forms suggests a playful, experimental approach to ceramic art that challenges traditional vessel design and pushes the boundaries of the medium. ...

Artist

Francis Upritchard

B.1976, New Zealand

Francis Upritchard was born in 1976 in New Plymouth, New Zealand and lives and works in London and New Zealand. Upritchard’s work draws on figurative sculpture, blending references from literature to ancient sculptures, and burial grounds to science fiction. Her installations showcase a wide variety of materials; her distinctive figurative sculptures are made using polymer plastic, amorphous mythological figures in balata - a natural rubber, bronze dinosaurs, glass vessels and ceramic urns. ‘Upritchard questions how we construct a vision for the future through our fractured, partial and often conflicted understanding of the past. She creates a place where histories and archives can be viewed anew through playfully exploring aspects of partiality, misreading and uncanny coincidences. Upritchard’s mini worlds are anti-imperial and non-hierarchical - there is no dominant culture.’ Heather Galbraith. ...
