VENTORUM 2
In distant waters, at the ocean bed, sea vents blow clouds of sand into the schools of fish swirling above. Ventorum 1 and 2, a pair of complementary ceramic artworks from Athens-based artist Angeliki Stamatakou, recall these vibrant subaquatic worlds.
On display as part of the artist’s takeover of Mona’s room 16, these handcrafted wall pieces are ruffled and dabbed with salmon hue against pumice texture for a delicate yet intricate decorative arrangement.
We imagine these ornaments displayed prominently in a well-lit entryway, or amongst the sea-worn trimmings of a coastal summer cottage.
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.
