A Formal Passion for Purple II

A bold elegance wrapped in regal hues: A Formal Passion for Purple is a striking member of the JeanElton TallVase Collection, where structure and color converge in a dynamic visual interplay. The piece takes its name from the crisp black-and-white checkerboard encircling the rim, reminiscent of the refined contrast of formal attire, while the dominant purple tones infuse the work with a sense of richness and depth. A mosaic of geometric patterns, interwoven with gold and black, creates a dynamic sense of movement across the matte surface, inviting the eye to explore its intricate details.

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.
