Shades in White - Exhibition - 1

Date visited - 6-4-13

This exhibition was done by Chris Ebejer who is mainly a self taught artist who studied art at an early age but found his calling in 3-D. His works in this exhibition are done with ceramics. His work is quite detailed although i would have liked to see a bit more colour.

Bavaria.
This piece features two children who look like angels with rococo and baroque swirls beneath them. Also the children look like  they are coming out of a black curtain. I really like that he joined the children and baroque swirls together, I think that they give the sculpture a very baroque feel. 

The swan lake series 

The three pieces that I am reviewing now are a series of swans which i found to be very elegant also he continues with the theme of baroque. The swans are shown in some kind of movement making the sculptures look alive also the artists level of detail is quite impressive.

Metamorphosis.

In this sculpture Ebejer shows a cloth made of ceramics being torn and butterflies flying out of the hole. I am surprised that he manged to create those butterflies in the way he did as I taught one needed more support for the butterflies to stay the way they do.

Mediterranean Legend 

In this sculpture Ebejer shows a torso of a man with a flowing cloth which drapes around his lower body also baroque swirls are included in the design. Also near the torso there is a sea shell which I connects the man to the Mediterranean.  Ebejer goes into detail with the masculine figure I find that it is somehow similar to Michelangelo's work.         

Winter Frost 

This sculpture depicts a woman who symbolizes the winter frost the woman has frost growing on her face and her torso breaks of into rigid forms that interpret frost. I like the idea of the frost growing on and the somewhat bitter expression on her face it gives the piece more character.

Winter Drops
This piece shows a woman which Ebejer interpreted as rain, she is more elegant than the woman in winter frost also the pieces going away from her torso are very fluent almost like water. Also a single tear drop runs down her face which I thought brings more meaning into the sculpture.
