Simcha Even-Chen
Entrapped 4 by Simcha Even-Chen - porcelain sculpture, blue

2022

About the Item

This sculpture is part of the sculptor’s most recent work, in which she uses paper porcelain (porcelain with 0.5% paper fibre added for greater flexibility) to create organic, dynamic and natural shapes. The artist tests the physical limits of the material (its collapse during firing) and plays with the balance between the full and empty spaces created by the shapes. She assembles different pieces to build her sculptures, but because of this process of collapsing, the final result after firing is always open to the unexpected. Colour is an important feature of this sculptural production, likely to elicit an emotional or psychological response from the observer. The linear patterns on the surface follow the viewer’s gaze along the curves, accentuating the soft, light, fluid look of the sculptures.

    Located in St. Louis, MO
    “My work reflects on experiences of transformation, alchemy and the sublime, manifesting in sculptures that undulate between soft and hard, alive and static, real and imagined. These works shape-shift, oscillating between abstraction, flora, fauna and mineral. This has the effect of compressing time, with elements frozen in mid-transformation. This dislocation reflects on mortality and ephemerality, exploring the space in between stages in our lives as well as embracing fantasies of alternative dimensions as a means of escapism.” - Artist Statement Sasha Koozel Reibstein...
