OUT OF THIS WORLD

Pittura e Ceramica Contemporanea

Di Leena Knuuttila e Sabine Pagliarulo

Le opere di Leena Knuuttila e Sabine Pagliarulo prendono possesso di questa piccola galleria nel
cuore di Roma mettendo in scena una visione quasi onirica della Natura.

Un “giardino segreto”, un’onda di emozioni , di sensibilità poetica, lontano dalle contaminazioni
della vita quotidiana, dove l’argilla dialoga con la pittura in un continuo scambio di energie:
contrasti materici e giochi di luce e colore si combinano in armonia, con la semplicità estetica che
da sempre le contraddistingue.

Boccioli, Conchiglie, Madrepore, forme organiche che accompagnano lo schiudersi della vita per
Sabine, colori tenui che ricordano i tramonti finlandesi e figure quasi aeree come in una visione
per Leena, e il sogno di queste due artiste prende forma in un mix creativo da “respirare” per
nutrire l’anima.

Wouter Dam at Puls

Wouter Dam    2/03/13 > 4/04/13 at Puls Ceramics

The renowned Dutch ceramic sculptor Wouter Dam creates objects that are minimalist at first glance. Yet they are always complex and intriguing, leading the eye around soft curves and sharp edges and pleasing in a meditative way. Every new object Dam creates is unique. While all appear to be subtle variations on a same theme, each one is different from all that have gone before.
Dam confesses to being obsessed with the sculptural side of clay yet he still uses many traditional pottery methods such as throwing on a potter’s wheel to create his sculptures. His abstract ceramic sculptures are the result of a quest that started with traditional pots altered with minimalist intent. Over the years, they slowly became more open and complex and now consist only of curling strips of clay, barely disclosing the essential “potness” and “bowlness” of their forebears. In spite of appearances, one can still trace back the making process of the pieces to the potter’s wheel. Colors are chosen to enhance the sculpture; the pigments are sprayed onto the surface, adding nothing more than is necessary.
