Tall Flowers

Tall Flowers delivers on its name with uncompromising boldness—oversized blooms in fiery oranges and deep purples burst forth from a ground of rich, midnight black, their petals rendered with the confidence of brushstrokes that know exactly where they are going. Lush green foliage weaves between the floral forms, creating a visual rhythm of warm and cool that propels the eye upward along the vessel's generous height. The dark background serves as a dramatic stage, allowing each blossom to radiate with the saturated brilliance of stained glass illuminated from within.
This work belongs to the JeanElton OvalVase Collection, distinguished by its elliptical footprint and the gentle warping that creates asymmetrical curves when viewed from different angles. The substantial proportions of this piece give the bold floral composition room to achieve its full theatrical impact, with the form's curvature creating a wraparound garden that unfolds as the viewer moves around it.
The work is fired first to approximately 1800 degrees F, after which any remaining fine alterations are made, and the surface treatment is applied by hand by the artist. A second firing to about 2100 degrees F completes the process, ensuring its durability and artistic integrity.
This piece bears the JeanElton signature on its underside and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity (COA), both of which display its catalogue reference.
