LANGRENUS
Named for the lunar crater, the Langrenus candleholder quietly reflects fire heat in the ripples and peaks of its obsidian gloss.
The surface, almost volcanic in texture, feels less like it was hand-forged than it feels like the craggy edges of a broken meteorite.
On display as part of Athens-based artist Angeliki Stamatakou’s takeover of Mona’s room 16, this candle holder is for twilight rituals anchored in a dusky sill, or set across a linen-draped table for moments where reflection meets the interplay between shadow and light.
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.
