A mass of unruly curls, scaly our bodies, and motifs painted in pink cradle the sleeping kids in Lena Guberman’s ceramics. Mendacity within the middle of spherical plates, the younger characters are suspended in states of slumber, their joys, anxieties, and formative experiences flowing from their resting our bodies. “I used to be an introverted baby, compensating for my loneliness with desires and fantasies. I had a sense that there’s a creature defending me from something dangerous that may occur,” the Israel-based artist tells Colossal. “I believe these visions got here to me when sculpting.”
Primarily illustrating image books, editorial items, and animations, Guberman started working with ceramics a couple of years in the past, though solely just lately returned to the medium as a reprieve from her in any other case two-dimensional apply. A part of her rising sculpture assortment, the plates proven right here replicate her imaginative fashion and equally seize the expressive, whimsical qualities of her drawings.
Guberman has a couple of prints accessible in her shop and shares an archive of her works on Behance.
