Beautiful ceramics that look like wood of Sculptor Christopher David White (USA)
Ses sculptures hyper réalistes sont faites d’argile. A partir de moulages ou moulage – il reproduit la texture du bois dans ses moindres détails. Un vrai trompe-l’oeil :
«Je cherche à exposer la beauté qui résulte souvent de la pourriture tandis que, en même temps, je renvoie au spectateur leur propre perception du monde. »
« I seek to expose the beauty that often results from decay while, at the same time, making my viewer question their own perception of the world around them. To accomplish this, I begin by observing instances of decay within my surroundings that I find inspiring due to form, color, or texture. With clay as my medium of choice I then meticulously render by hand those elements, taking advantage of clay’s innate ability to mimic a wide variety of materials. I utilize trompe l’oeil as a stylistic choice to emphasize the concept that our understanding of the world is an illusion. The juxtaposition of natural and man-made features in combination with the skewing of scale, proportion, and material, helps in creating an altered perception – forcing the viewer to look closer. »
