Description
The Alone in Raku ceramic on Alder tree is an artistic piece by Ciro, Roberto Cipollone. Ciro’s ability to integrate the meanings of symbols from various cultural circles and his ability to give a new meaning to what is discarded are distinctive signs of his artistic activity.
Here are three peculiarities of The Alone in Raku Ceramic on Alder tree:
The bird theme in art has an important meaning. Birds have existed on earth from very ancient times, even before the dinosaurs. For this reason, depending on the origin, various cultures have attributed the most varied meanings to birds. We focus on two of them:
- o Birds fly, so they are a mediator between earth and sky
- o The birds every morning invite you to wake up, to gather strength for the day that begins.
Raku ceramic, the material from which the bird is made, comes from Japan in the sixteenth century. The Japanese inventors have discovered that the clay placed in contact with a very high temperature and then removed quickly changes color and structure in order to give it a decorative glaze. The Raku technique is a favorite of the artist Ciro, precisely because the final effect of the cooking process you can never be predicted.
The Alder tree: the tree of recovery. Its root system supplies the soil with nutrients. The Alder tree helps the soil to restore the level of fertility and manages to do so even with the poorest, driest soils.
The Alone in Raku Ceramic on Alder is a work that invites you to wake up every day with energy, to be surprised, to know how to give support and nourishment to what is arid and poor.
