"Lure" Angela Cunningham
Vessel Gallery in Boston
until June 19th
www.vesselsgallery.com

La Vessel Gallery di Boston, galleria unicamente dedicata alla ceramica, presenta in questo mese il sensuale lavoro di Angela Cunningham.
"Le immagini da cui traggono ispirazione i miei pezzi sono quelle della natura. Sono ispirata dalla sensuale consistenza, dalle linee eleganti e dalla fertile energia dei fiori. La frutta e la verdura mi affascinano con i loro colori allettanti, con la fitta struttura dei semi e la bellezza grottesca. Il corpo umano appare qui e là, la curva dei fianchi, la morbidezza della pancia... " Angela Cunningham

Quella della Cunningham è una natura opulenta e matrigna nei colori forti e nelle forme quasi inquietanti. Protuberanze, corni ed escrescenze smaltate arrichiscono le forme di connotazioni più aliene che umane, in un armonia di colori usati sapientemente.


Now in its sixth year, Vessels Gallery — located in Boston’s South End, the center of the city’s thriving arts and cultural scene — is a venue for those who collect, create, or covet ceramics… or those just beginning an exploration of the beauty of shaped clay. Representing studio ceramicists from the United States, Europe, and Asia, the Gallery exhibits the functional and non-functional, one-of-a-kind work of both emerging and established clay artists.
This month Vessels Gallery presents the work of American ceramist Angela Cunningham, fascinating and mysterious forms like alien flowers bloom in the gallery space. Here are the words of the artist:
"The imagery in my pieces is drawn largely from forms in nature. I am inspired by the seductive textures, elegant lines and fertile energy of flowers. Fruits and vegetables fascinate me with their tantalizing colors, dense seed structure and grotesque beauty. The human body enters here and there – the curve of hip, the softness of belly….." Angela Cunningham
Her creations are sensually beautiful but dangerous, like those carnivorous plants with their inviting colours and rounded shapes. Be careful !!! You might want to take them all home!
