Our artwork of the month 🎉
Adonis Torso, by Mark Mann, cast and hand-carved ceramic individually glazed,
approx. 28 x 18.5 x 12 cm each
Drawing inspiration from nature, Greek and Roman mythology, and Q***r histories, Mark Mann creates beautifully crafted works across ceramics, bronze, painting and textiles. His pieces capture people with their powerful messages and strong subject matters, but draw a viewer in to look closer with his use of unique and stunning glazes and carved details.
Adonis was most notable in Greek mythology for having extraordinary beauty and has become a symbol of the most handsome mortal, a divine physique that Mann replicates into his artworks rich with carved details. We’re delighted to now introduce two new torsos!
The first is finished in a rich, mottled bronze glaze, with a wonderfully expressive drip of glaze falling from the end of the broken arm, a small detail that makes the piece feel entirely captivating
The second features the distinctive green glaze, iconic of Mark’s works, but with striking areas where the glaze breaks away to reveal the raw clay beneath. This interplay between glaze and exposed ceramic heightens the dynamism of the surface.
Both torsos will be on display throughout September, and available to browse on our website!
This month's open days are the 7th, 13th, 15th, 19th, 27th and 28th, come by to see these and many other intriguing works! 🤩
