OCEANUS PROCELLARUM 4
From the near side of the moon to the walls of Mona’s room 16, the Oceanus Procellarum set of decorative ceramic bowls by Athens-based artist Angeliki Stamatakou meditates on the textures and tones of its namesake’s stargazing theme.
The fourth piece in this series is coloured matte cream, overlaid with bold streaks of royal blue and dashed with undertones of mossy green. Its surface puts one in mind of sand dunes and ocean tides.
This handmade set is on display as part of the artist’s takeover of room 16.
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.
