Mélanie Bourget

CeramicsSculpture
Written By Lu Ernest Design .

  • Mélanie Bourget’s raku sculptures are an exploration of human expression. With great skill, she creates figurative pieces in a contemporary, yet offbeat style.

    Eccentric hairstyles, textures, tattoos and patterns, are composed into vibrant busts. From the charming to the outrageous, Mélanie’s figures oscillate between realism and fantasy with characters that spark a deeply emotive response from the viewer.

    Mélanie thinks of her mysterious characters as poetic, fragile creatures that transmit deep feelings. Through her art they come alive and through the cracks of their glaze we see the human soul.

    Raku is an enamelling technique of Korean origin, that was further developed in Japan in the sixteenth century.

Working in wood and concrete, Davide Galbiati sculpts to bring the soul of his subject matter to life through materials that present a paradox. The end result is serene and beautiful.
