Tien Wen
Pinnacle by Tien Wen - Abstract ceramic sculpture, pure form, raku technique

2016

About the Item

Pinnacle is a unique ceramic sculpture by contemporary artist Tien Wen, dimensions are 74 × 39 × 34 cm (29.1 × 15.4 × 13.4 in). The sculpture is signed comes with a certificate of authenticity. The sculpture has a metallic quality that is similar to bronze because of the raku technique, which is dear to the artist. Tien Wen naturally concentrated her work on pottery at the end of the 1990s due to her early fascination with Chinese porcelains, particularly the colours, enamel and celadons. As the years went by, the artist's love of shapes and the material itself led her to abandon the functional aspect and create more abstract works. The artist just follows her instinct and makes pieces in accordance with the lines that come to mind, giving her a clear vision of the finished product, while looking for the purest of shapes.

  • Untitled. Glazed Ceramic Abstract Sculpture Vase
    By Charo Oquet
    Located in Miami Beach, FL
    Untitled, by Charo Oquet Glazed Ceramic Abstract Sculpture Vase 22 H in x 12 D in. 2019 These gravity-defying ceramics stacked constructions struggle to soar beyond the boundaries of the spaces that contain them, often appearing to teeter in the brink of collapse. They are essentially diasporic, coming from various territorial and conceptual geographies that are the instruments of connection between today and the past and a new future. I try to create pieces where a process of mestizaje capable of arming dissident ways of live, intertwined with my family history. The colors, bright, chaotic, disruptive of a rich tropical load, bright light, universe of the Caribbean pallet, have archetypal symbols connected to the African heritage, visual party made plastic, symphonic permanence, with a transmission of joy, cheerful feelings that evoke directly the therapeutic action of planting, building and maintaining a garden, in this case, a permanent garden, which is mud in a state of crystallization (ceramics). ----------------------------------------------- Charo Oquet is a Miami-based artist that uses painting, installation, performance, photography and film, among other media, to investigate issues of displacement, identity, migration, gender, or sociopolitical and cultural issues and to document and reflect on issues of de-colonial aesthesis and the role of contemporary culture in a global reality. Her work is a subjective observation by someone who is concerned with her surroundings and the culture she left behind. Her interdisciplinary work has been extensively exhibited internationally and has been well-reviewed by art critics and recognized by scholars in books and other publications.
