Character

With Francesco’s years of exploration in creation, the work indicates ancient people’s research on the human image in the form of contemporary sculpture.With blue as its dominant tone, the work has bright colors and is rich in layers. The overall shape of the work is like that of a human figure with a full and round head as well as smooth and gradually-narrowing body lines. It is designed with the stable bottom, which not only shows the three-dimensionality of the sculpture but also endows it with vivid postures and vitality. The work has rough but delicate surfaces as if it has gone through many vicissitudes. It seems like each unevenness conveys a story. The work is lifelike and rich in artistic connotation, showing the unique charm and perfect form of a human image. The work presents the ceramist's proficient control over details and profound understanding of beauty with the combination of colors as well as the design of the shape and the texture. It reflects the ceramist's unique pursuit of beauty and expresses deep emotions for traditional culture and the spirit of exploration towards modern art.
