'Flower Vessel' by 2005 Faenza Grand Prize Winner Kawakami Tomoko
In the world of international ceramic prizes, none is as prestigious as the Premio Faenza, Grand Prize, at the Faenza International Competition of Contemporary Ceramic Art in Italy. In 2005the Grand Prize went to a Kawakami Tomoko(b.1957). As I've noted before I admire her organic forms and the darkness of the interior that pulls me in like a black hole. One on the judges at Faenza wrote about her work that it, deserves the award equally for the "ability to condense an expression of extreme simplicity into a material of great delicacy and thinness and for the new effect of depth expressed by the successful contrast between the outer surface and the inner void." Wholeheartedly agree. It's been about five years since we last had a Kawakami piece and this one is her signature form measuring 21cm.tallx36x26.5, in perfect condition with a signed box.
