Israeli sculptor Zemer Peled makes mesmerizing sculptures that are compiled from thousands of porcelain shards. They take after the organic shape and growth of flowers and corals. A process of deconstruction and reconstruction, her work aims to examine both the beauty and sheer brutality of the natural world.

According to the Peled, her creative process is consistent with the Kabbalah concepts of Shevirah (breaking) and Tikkun (mending) which can also be considered as a renewal. “I make, then break, then make again,” she shared with CFile. “Chaos, destruction, and decay are intense and necessary creative process for me to create each of my sculptures.”

This process includes producing the ceramic shards herself, using a slab roller. “I make sheets of clay, fire them, and smash them into pieces with a hammer,” she explained. “I love playing with the idea of the texture and the form can look airy, delicate, light and fluffy and to give a sense of flutter, as if my breath would break it. Yet, the hard and sharp shards can be seen as round and moving, and give a sense of softness.”

Her work has been exhibited internationally at venues like Sotheby’s, Saatchi Gallery (London), and the Nelson Atkins Museum of Art (Kansas City); and has also been featured in top tier publications like VogueO Magazine, and Elle. But you can also follow her creative journey on Instagram.

Juliette Clovis, an artist from Bordeaux, France, creates porcelain sculptures that look so mesmerizing and amazing, and we want to share them with you.  

A central point of Clovis’s work is a representation of a woman, though, in most of her works, the human figure is not present, and is replaced by wildlife and floral elements. The pieces she works on somehow move between picturing the announcements of the birth of a new living being, human bodies that are half-animals, half-vegetables and death caused by a disenfranchised nature that wants its rights back. The main topic she is focused on is metamorphosis, and that’s visible through symbols of snakes, butterflies or eggs, that are already known to the history of art.  

In her works, Clovis mixes times and cultures, trying to create communication between modern and traditional worlds. Her art is using a traditional medium, and already known symbols, but the pieces she makes are unique and modern, as well as the issues she’s focused on.  

After finishing extensive studies in art history, law, sculpture and graphic design, Clovis has exhibited her work in many international contexts during the last ten years.  

We found her art quite appealing, and we recommend visiting her Instagram account for more!

One month ago, my sculpture « Manis Tetradactyla » was exhibited in Le Grand Palais during the biennale Révélations- Made with more than 6500 porcelain scales. Juliette Clovis is a french visual artist living in south ouest of France. Her work explores 2 main lines: first, the idea of cycle of life which is incessant and universal, and second, the perpetual search for a balance born from contrasts and oppositions. Techniques and matter are very important to Juliette. Her current production develops mainly around sculpture with her favorite medium: porcelain. Manis Tetradactyla is a species of pangolin: a small long-tailed mammal living in West and Central Africa. Like the animal, thousands of porcelain scales interlock into each other and form a carapace which covers entirely the surface of the sculpture. The final shape draws an abstract line, invasive and sinuous, almost looking like snake curves. Like a gigantic ‪Gordian knot‬, Manis Tetradactyla has neither beginning nor end. An hybrid and reptilian creature with an immaculate beauty born from Intertwined and sprawling forms . The course of events seems then reversed. The cycle of life takes another turn and instead of disappearing, a new living being emerges from the pangolin’s scales. A powerful form springs out fragile porcelain shards. The spectator is faced with an unknown animal. Is it one of a kind? Are they several? Is it a threat? The impression of strength and invasion is palpable. But the delicacy and fragility of porcelain soften this tension making the animal less disturbing than intriguing. Strength and fragility are balanced to give life to a new form of harmony. Manis Tetradactyla scrambles the tracks and plays the spectator who no longer knows if he is in front of a prehistoric animal resurfaces from the past or a metamorphic and futuristic creature announcing the birth of a new era. @salonrevelations @le_grand_palais #contemporarysculpture #contemporaryceramics #contemporaryporcelain #artcommission #porcelainsculpture #porcelainart #monumentalsculpture #scales #snake #legrandpalais #artparis #artinparis #artconsulting #artconsultant #reptile #pangolins #gordian #gordianknot #lifecycle

Ceramic artist Martha Pachon Rodriguez’s current work is composed of three lines “the sculptures mixture of human eroticism with animal nature.  The installations, result of an ethnographic investigation and art references, and a third precious production dedicated to porcelain jewelry,” according to her website.

Her sculptural vessels have sharp repeated shapes and striking color combinations. Rodriguez uses a mix of uncolored and pigmented porcelain to create layers of thin spikes which frame the gaping holes in the rounded vessels, resulting to sea urchin-like sculptures.

In addition to her sharp-edged porcelain artworks, Rodriguez also makes suspended installations and crafts fine jewelry as part of her ceramic practice. Scroll down to see her latest creations.

You can see her incredible work below.

We can’t get enough of Genesis Belanger’s surrealistic creations! The Brooklyn-based sculptor turns everyday objects such as cigarette stubs and soda cans, into fantastical, if comical, pieces of art.

Having studied fashion design at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago she has built props for advertising campaigns in Manhattan before earning her MFA from Hunter College, where she was accepted into the painting program only to be captivated by clay. 

Her ceramic and porcelain creations were featured in numerous exhibitions at key galleries and museums, including the Galerie Perrotin, Seoul and the Galerie Perrotin, New York. 

“It’s easy to find art in the abject, that touches some dark discord,” she told Galerie, “but I think it’s possible to make work that is relevant and beautiful.”

Check out some of her work below.
