Upcoming Exhibition

Rita De Nigris aime confronter les codes traditionnels de la céramique aux codes d’une narration contemporaine où mots et images tiennent davantage du pictogramme. Avec Paroles à la douzaine, elle nous propose une œuvre critique de la société à la fois subtile et évidente, émaillée de clins d’œil ironiques. 

Exposition dans le cadre du Parcours Céramique Carougeois 2024,

18e biennale internationale de céramique contemporaine.

Un événement organisé par Fondation Bruckner – Centre céramique

The artist's figurative sculptures focus on the theme of migration throughout her artistic career. Her journey of creating her signature personages have begun years ago after seeing a documentary of sub-saharan refugees in their endless, ardous walk through the land. 

Her work is even more pertinent now in the light of ongoing refugee crises taking place all over the world. 

Opening: 4 November  11:00-17:00

The artist creates abstract and architectural shapes which integrate clay fragments through a slow, determined and yet humble process. Her pieces evoke in a metaphorical way the alchemical processes of the psyche, the transmutation of each individual who, despite bearing the burden of ordeals which have been solidified by the fire of life, becomes a new unique being.

In 2021, Evrim Ozkan Yazici was awarded the Young Ceramicist Bursary by the Bruckner Foundation.

This exhibition is part of Ceramics Biennale, Parcours Céramiques Carougeois 2022, 17-25 September 2022.
