About the Item
Shell is a unique sculpture by contemporary artist Sharon Brill. This is a wheel thrown altered and sandblasted porcelain sculpture, sold with a stand made of painted clay, dimensions are 11 × 16 × 9 cm
(4.3 × 6.3 × 3.5 in).
Sharon Brill’s production is made of pieces whose aesthetics is marked and delicate. The pieces are made from wheel-thrown or slab-constructed and altered porcelain, they are sanded with different sized sandpaper before and after the oven step. Her sculptures are surprising and dynamic, their abstract shapes vary from different points of view, granting the viewer multiple possibilities of imagination and discovery. This sculpture is a unique piece signed by the artist, and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
The artist’s main inspiration is the sea. Inspired by the energy of the sea, a marine atmosphere emerges from the sculptures which sometimes look like waves or shells. The artistic creation is continuously influenced by the composition of the different textures and colours created by the light, the air, the water and the sand we can see on the coasts.

Sharon Brill
Sharon Brill works mainly in porcelain, creating abstract sculptures with an almost organic appearance. The bare, perfectly smooth surface of her sculptures draws us into a constant back-and-forth between the inside and the outside, the visible and the invisible, echoing our own interior world. She draws her main inspiration from the marine world: from the shapes drawn by the wind on the sand or the surface of the water, from the surfaces of shells or reefs carried by the tide, from the foam left by the waves... Elegant and unique ceramics, her sculptures take shape during a long creative process always guided by instinct. “The principle of my work lays in the integration of two concepts: on the one hand a meticulous and minimalist aesthetic, and on the other hand a spontaneous research, limitless and intuitive.”

- "MIDNIGHT BLUE", sculpture, clay, relief, abstract, contemporary, ceramicBy Harold WortsmanLocated in Toronto, OntarioMidnight Blue, a ceramic relief sculpture of high-fired porcelain pigmented with oxides, paint and epoxy, is a recent work by New York artist Harold Wortsman. This sculpture is ready to be mounted to the wall. Note the artist's hand in the mark-making – cuts and radiating lines, the suggestion of maps, geometry and counting systems – it is characteristic of Wortsman's practice. Warm, contemporary, uniquely crafted, yet speaks to ancient, tribal traditions of art-making that cross cultures and histories. Highly attuned to the art of Africa, the Middle East, India and Asia, his forms are organic abstracts with masculine and feminine attributes that resonate together as a pleasing enigma. They make sense immediately, yet never give up all their secrets. Midnight Blue was recently exhibited at Harold Wortsman: Time and Space, Orange Art Foundation, New York City, February 2022. From Harold Wortsman – "With sculpture, my material of choice is high-fired clay. Pieces are first low-fired in an electric kiln. I do not use glazes. Instead, I use oxides applied to the bisqued (low-fired) clay. As with a tattoo, oxides permit the surface underneath to breathe—like naked skin. The work is then high-fired in a gas kiln with double reduction to cone 10. The final temperature is 2,300 degrees F. At a certain point, oxygen intake is reduced to the kiln. Because the fire has reached a critical mass, it needs oxygen and chemically takes it from the clay and the oxides painted on. Like a jazz improvisation, each kiln load comes out slightly different." From Jonathan Goodman – "Wortsman has increasingly moved into his own – a place in which the relations between the abstractions of volume and the intimations of very old culture are merged in a way that is new." – Essay, "Harold Wortsman: Time and Space", Orange Art Foundation, February 2022, New York City. Harold Wortsman is a sculptor and printmaker based in Brooklyn, NY. He “creates forms that bring to mind archaic cult objects and exude a quiet concentrated strength.” (Argauer Zeitung, Switzerland). His work, an edgy mix of freedom and clarity, can be found in public and private collections in the US, including The Library of Congress, Yale University, The New York Public Library Print Collection, The New York Historical Society, Smith College, Indiana University’s Lilly Library, Brandeis University, The Newark Public Library Special Collections Division, and the Jane Voorhees Zimmerli Art Museum Print Archive. Also in private and public collections in Europe, including the Municipal Collection of the City of Brugg, Switzerland. Harold studied at the New York Studio School of Drawing, Painting and Sculpture, with sculptor George Spaventa...Category
