I am a huge fan of the Ippolita home collection. I would buy every piece if I could. This is one of the pieces I have bought. A beautiful nude in glass -- great for a paperweight. Also available in white marble.

Any Name Automata

First to recommend

Description

I've just recently stumbled upon several automata. How very cool. This one is a little sexy.

A stunning and unique automata, based on the theme of women and tattooing. Made from solid copper etched front, back and sides with photographic images related to tattooing in the early 20th century. Inside is a resin-set image of a woman and when the handle is turned a tattoo is added, or removed, from her bare back.

It's half art, half really rad (it's alright I'm bringing the word back, and half really creepy... is that a Kewpie Doll head at the base? Do I really want that staring at me while I dine? Or it's it kitchy-cool?

Domestic Definition - ceramic sculpture

First to recommend

Description

Funky little sculpture makes a statement about how women and the home. It speaks to me because I love beautiful things for the home, but I am by no means a domestic goddess, defined by my porcelain.

Ildikó Kalapács was born in Hungary and has been living in the USA since 1987. She left Hungary just before the end of the Soviet occupation and the collapse of the Soviet Union. Her past experiences with social issues can be detected in her works created in the USA in the past 14 years.

Ildikó’s work is rooted in two cultures—Hungarian and American—and influenced by her travels as a folk dancer and artist. Her two-dimensional images are derived from the traditions of figurative art mixed with traces of Central European folk art and four languages: Hungarian, Russian, English and Japanese. The complex nature of her art can be traced back to her interest in intercultural disciplines and globalization.

Her three-dimensional art works consist of mostly ceramic works with some mixed media and bronze pieces. The use of these materials follows some tradition in Hungarian art but ceramics also plays a philosophically and conceptually important role in her art, symbolizing the fragile nature of the human body and soul. One must touch it and handle it gingerly and carefully. This is the basic principle and approach to her socially oriented sculptures. Along with the literal form, her work leaves enough room for abstract or conceptual interpretation.
