Francois Marechal French Wood Fired Ceramic Vase La Borne c2000

Creator: Francois Marechal
Offered by: Pavilion Antiques and 20thc

Description
François Maréchal realised his desire to work with clay alongside Jean Linard. He gave up his first career to take classes with Jean Lerat. He turned stoneware and fired with wood, to then specialise in gas-fired raku. Doing so allows him more spontaneity and enables rapid experimentation. With his new wood-fired kiln, he is returning to high temperature firing and is making vases and sculptures that showcase the interplay of materials, writing and relief. He draws out his pieces, builds them by assembling slabs of clay, engraves them, encrusts them with sand and lightly coats them in a slip. His works blend geometrical rigour and organic sensuality, and bear witness to an accomplished aesthetic exploration.

Message from Seller:

Pavilion is the collective vision of Deborah Colman and Neil Kraus, both graduates of the master of fine arts program at the Art Institute of Chicago. From a longstanding interest in art and design, frequent buying trips to France and Italy have influenced the direction of the gallery to offer items that are not easily sourced in Chicago and United States. Postwar design has been the focus for 18 yrs and we also look forward to new design that crosses boundaries and dialogues as well to the past
