About
Uriel Caspi’s artworks propose an interplay between the revival of ancient crafts and contemporary art studio practice. His recent Corpus Archetypus series features anatomical organs of the “Posthuman”, as a sculptural investigation of the morphological and conceptual relations between the human body and the ceramic vessel. By extrapolating the familiar human genetics into abstract forms, where nature and technology become indistinguishable. The surface is glazed in Arabian luster formulated with precious metals, which appears as a reflective- iridescent luster after the firing. The quality of the glaze is reflecting aesthetics from antiquity and a visionary environment from the future at the same time.
