Quebec Ceramist Collection

CSAC-510

Ceramic
As she prepares her ceramic's third firing, the artist lays out laser decals that will add her object's undeniable signature: the jellyfish. Why this creature? "There is no specific reason ... I find this marine specimen fascinating, it's seducing simply by its beauty."
The final result, as a whole, feels quite organic thanks to the contrast of the material and random application of jellyfishes, but also by the sharp visual precision of the grey and white.
Laval ceramist Catherine De Abreu advocates a contemporary approach to the objects she creates.
The craftsmanship behind these cups is what makes them unique as the colour gradient, intensity and patterns varies from one object to the other. Think of it as the yardstick of what handmade looks like.

Cup from Catherine De Abreu | Éolienne
As a challenge, the Quebec artist wanted to use vivid orange for this collection, a colour with a bold character which is rarely used in ceramics. Juxtaposed with this modern graphic, a rebellious cup is born with a singular design that captures the imagination.
Yunomi Cup from Julie lavoie | Verano
A cup by Julie Lavoie that is especially comforting thanks to its large size and its rich, warm green colour, which in places reveals signs of a wood-fired kiln.
Cup from Jane Baronet | Archipel
Neither a chawan nor a teacup, this piece by Jane Baronet embodies this median format, whose purpose seems unclear at first, but which quickly proves to be essential, both in the kitchen and in the tea room!
Cup from Dana | Dirette
On this everyday porcelain cup, a work of art is added that is a hymn to the almost invisible and little known beauty of the marine depths.
