Pierre Marie Giraud is proud to present a new exhibition of works by Alev Ebüzziya Siesbye, one of the most esteemed ceramic artists of our time. This exhibition offers a rare opportunity to witness the result of her ongoing artistic journey.
Alev Ebüzziya Siesbye has meticulously handpicked a stunning selection of her newest works, showcasing her continued mastery of the ceramic medium. The exhibition is anchored by a series of pieces that highlight her renowned use of dark blue glazes that are rich and captivating. These works, adorned with fine motifs, evoke a sense of depth and introspection, drawing the viewer into a world where simplicity is infused with profound emotion.
Complementing these are a collection of smaller works in white with light blue hues, dark purple and old rose tones. These pieces accented by fine colored rims, while subtle in their palette, are no less impactful. The careful use of these tones introduces a warmth and intimacy to the collection, inviting a closer, more personal engagement with each piece.
This new body of work demonstrates Ebüzziya Siesbye?s exceptional technical skill. The interplay between the dark blues and the lighter, more delicate hues offers a rich visual experience, where each piece stands as a testament to her enduring dedication to the craft.
Visitors to the exhibition will find themselves immersed in a world where every bowl, vessel, and form has been crafted with the utmost care and attention. Alev Ebüzziya Siesbye's work continues to resonate with both contemporary and traditional influences, making this exhibition a must-see for anyone who appreciates the beauty of finely crafted ceramics.
Everything in her practice evokes time, and her approach to ceramics exemplifies the notion of communion between the craftsperson and their material. Each of her bowls embeds the time she spent to find her language, her rhythm, and her tempo. For Ebüzziya Siesbye it is the task of the ceramicist to know and feel when the combinations are right, when they make sense. Every shape has its own vibration, every colour has its own resonance.
The seemingly simplicity of her works should not be taken lightly. It is the achievement of a life dedicated to kneading clay to the correct texture, adjusting enamel recipes to obtain the perfect colour, refining curves to harmoniously balance a shape. Far from being minimalist, her coiled clay bowls epitomise the essence of the vessel. Their generous curves, bellies, and long lips, immobilised in levitation, hold something metaphysical
The exhibition at Pierre Marie Giraud is a celebration of Alev Ebüzziya Siesbye?s remarkable career, and a glimpse into the ongoing evolution of her art. Each work on display is a unique exploration of color, form, and texture, reflecting the artist's profound connection to her medium and her ability to transform simple materials into timeless works of art.
Join us at the gallery on Thursday, September 12, for the opening of the exhibition from 5 to 8 PM.
