Description

By using clay as the primary material and delving into deep introspection, Egle Simkus invites the viewer into a dreamlike world populated by chimeras and fantastical beings. Her sculptures draw inspiration from imaginary peoples from a distant past, living in perfect symbiosis with their environment. In doing so, she creates a new mythology to inspire the present through a fantasized vision. What she presents to the world resembles an archaeological discovery, fragments of human stories straight out of another world.
The «Lava» sculptures embody earthly power and the volcanic matter that springs forth from it. These frozen beings represent to her the depths of the earth but also the darkness of the unconscious within us. The black obtained through the mixture of several layers of black glazes is deep and organic, seemingly in constant turmoil.

Sculpted by hand in the artist’s studio, it is unique. The glaze is achieved through the layering of various blacks, the result is called by the artist ‘Noir Yakisugi’ in homage to the Japanese technique of burnt wood.

Sculpted by hand in the artist’s studio. Each object is unique.
