CAPTAIN ARISTARCHUS
A face can take 8 billion forms, and forms can make the 8 billion and first.
Playful reminders of wonder and imagination emerge from the shapes and colours of the ceramic works of Athens-based artist Angeliki Stamatakou. Captain Aristarchus, a wall-mounted ceramic decoration, suggests a living creature and carries the namesake of the ancient Greek astronomer.
This unique and vibrant statement on adventure and discovery is on display as part of the artist’s takeover of Mona’s room 16, and would suit the decoration of a child’s bedroom or study.
Angeliki Stamatakou is a ceramic sculptor based in Athens, Greece. In her series of works, large clay sculptures serve as pure evocative artworks as well as functional pieces such as vases and candleholders, blurring the lines between utility and art.
The meticulous hand-building technique she employs emphasises a hands-on, artisanal aspect to making. This method ensures that each piece is unique and carries the mark of the artist's personal touch.
Themes of movement, mystery, freedom, and security infuse her exploration. The visual narrative mirrors a fantastical underwater civilisation, speaking to spirits deeply connected to the sea and nature.
Lorem ipsum, or lipsum as it is sometimes known, is dummy text used in laying out print, graphic or web designs. The passage is attributed to an unknown typesetter in the 15th century who is thought to have scrambled parts of Cicero’s De Finibus Bonorum et Malorum for use in a type specimen book.

This ceramic artwork is glazed, though, due to its rough surface texture, it should be hand-washed with delicate fabrics to avoid damage and ensure longevity.
