Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This surreal wall sconce features an unconventional, sculptural design. The piece combines organic, textured elements such as twisted branches or roots, with a central ceramic face that appears both whimsical and unsettling. The two light fixtures, resembling eyes, emanate a warm, almost ethereal glow, lending an otherworldly quality to the work. The artistic style blends natural, primitive forms with a touch of the macabre, creating a visually striking and thought-provoking piece. This unconventional lighting fixture likely reflects the artist's intention to challenge traditional notions of domestic decor and inject a sense of mystery and the uncanny into the everyday. ...

Artist

Soshiro Matsubara

1980 , Japanese

Soshiro Matsubara’s work is concerned with eroticism, desire, the lewd and the absurd. During an artistic process that begins with the accumulation of old magazine snippets and antiques, he pieces together assembled sculptures made from glazed ceramics, depictions of estranged or deranged lovers entwined. Much of Matsubara’s work has focused on Oskar Kokoschka and his bizarre and turbulent relationship with Alma Mahler, which saw him commission a life-sized doll of his ex-lover, a physical manifestation of his lovesickness and desperation. Matsubara says that he is attracted to the obsession, attachment, weirdness and humour of the story. Through the installations and paintings that Kokoschka’s love affair inspired, Matsubara raises questions of simulation, stimulation and the uncanny. ...
