The Story of the Work
A patchwork of bold geometry and dynamic movement: Patchwork in Red & Black is a striking addition to the JeanElton portfolio, crafted in the TallVase Collection. This piece balances structure and spontaneity, with sharply contrasting angular divisions framing vibrant, intricate patterns. Bold reds, deep blacks, and lively yellows pulse with energy against a crisp white background, creating a composition that feels both methodical and free-spirited.
The surface treatment is applied by hand, each segment meticulously designed to juxtapose color, shape, and texture in a way that keeps the eye in motion. The interplay of line work, dots, and organic curves adds rhythm, while the dynamic asymmetry gives the piece a sense of movement and vitality. The interior, finished in a deep black matte, offers a bold contrast to the structured exterior, emphasizing the sculptural form. The exterior is also matte, enhancing the depth and clarity of the design.
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.
