Go see a large polychrome ceramic gorilla holding a deer | October 17, 2012
"Regeneration" is a unique installation from acclaimed Italian ceramicists Bertozzi & Casoni. The artists are known for their delicate depictions of a culture in decay, deftly rendered in fragile ceramic clay. Their latest work Regeneration queries the hierarchy of aesthetics, revealing the beauty in the neglected and discarded ephemera of our seamless culture. In each evocative scene, the works may be narrated by the viewer in any way perceived but the artists have descriptive definitions from their imaginations. Explain what you see and view the exhibit between Oct 13 - Nov 10, 2012 at All Visiual Arts in London.
