Hieronymus is a collection of curiosities inspired by Renaissance artist Hieronymus Bosch. Hieronymus was established as an online gallery in 2014 to showcase the collection of the Richard and Alita Rogers Family Foundation.
The name and aesthetic were inspired by the Renaissance artist Hieronymus Bosch, whose stirring paintings depict fantastical scenes that instill both delight and terror. Like Bosch's paintings, the collection, encompassing ceramics, paintings, prints, sculpture, and other curiosities, traverses the grotesque and picturesque, the sacred and profane. It is built around an appreciation for experiment

Sometimes I really don't get to spend time with an object until its time to ship it to its new owner. Such as the case with two Tuareg (Mali) metal alloy spoons. These spoons along with other African-origin spoons have spent most of their time in storage. To me, it's rewarding to deaccession objects whose time with the collection have been as such. The video shows one of the spoons with its traditional carved handle and beautiful etchings. #hieronymusobjects
Clayton Bailey, who recently passed away, began making the "Burping Bowls", in 1968. The bowls are kinetic, hydro-pneumatic objects with each containing a submerged ceramic creature, often with bulging bloodshot eyes and snaggly teeth. On June 12th we joined Garth Johnson along with Clayton Bailey's family members and Bailey art experts for a video conversation to show pieces from our collection like the one featured here and to discuss the quirky genius of the artist. The Ceramic Object Study Session is viewable at https://youtu.be/6IEGUjmKM7Q. #hieronymusobjects #claytonbailey #ceramics #sculpture #eversonmuseum #garthjohnson
This "Sunday" is a panty dropper. Misty Gamble's "Sunday" installation features 49 pairs of ceramic panties. The colors of dusty purples and pinks emit gentle femininity. In contrast, the un**es' glitzy crotches adorn the fun parts with glitter, rhinestones, and shimmer. Each pair seems frozen in a recognizable ripple of a delicate undergarment splayed and flattened on the floor. #hieronymusobjects #mistygamble #ceramics #installation #sundayfunday #panties #feminine #womanartist #womenshistorymonth

“I just cant put my finger on it. I can feel the opinions and ideas rise inside me. Something is telling me, but it does not come from speech, it does not come from thought. Ideas, they get muffled things influence them but not this. Not this feeling, I know that this is fact, reality grasping at me. Some say it comes from the gut but I feel it in my heart. I feel the hot breath and fire present there. Some call it intuition; others have been known to call it magic. Not me, I know this feeling too well and I listen to her, I listen to her truth that unknowingly guides me. I listen to my dragon and so shall you.” [Ellie Strange] #SheDragon #LiuDao #Island6 #ledsculpture
