Abel Jallais Bonbonne 1 2, 2019 Ceramic sculpture Black stoneware fired at 1,250°C, fluorescent pink paint, and metal base One-of-a-kind piece Without base: H35 L25 P25 cm With base: H45 L25 P25 cm A Brussels-based ceramic artist, Abel Jallais explores the boundary between utilitarian objects and sculpture. His creations evoke architecture, industrial devices, or hydraulic systems, while retaining the irregularities of hand-forming. This ambiguity invites the viewer to examine the form before considering its function. He is also a member of the teaching staff at the La Cambre ceramics studio in Brussels.
