{"product_id":"bas-reliefs","title":"Bas-Reliefs","description":"\u003cp\u003eWe could look at Ronan Bouroullec’s ceramic bas-reliefs and see traces of a language we recognize: the silhouettes of familiar objects, the contours of known landscapes. We might be tempted to look at the work as an alphabet of mere things, think of the pieces “objectively.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!--more--\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut as tableaux, the reliefs are not quite right: one has an edge that goes too far, another a circle that’s off-center and about to roll, and still another, a pinkish mass that could topple over.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBouroullec’s work is most rewarding if we listen as it asks for a new language altogether. Languages have always been born from clay (one thinks of cuneiform seals); it’s easy to believe that Bouroullec is developing his own. At the very least, these pieces – somewhere at the intersection between painting, sculpture, and design – demand new verbs, words like “bevel” and “disintegrate.” (And it’s possible, the works say, that there is nothing so lovely as a beveled edge: the way they taper is like a caress. The way they dissolve onto a background feels digital and also deeply analogue. These effects are both visual and tactile, as in: we see them and we want to touch them.)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Terranova","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55472278438230,"sku":null,"price":18.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1042\/8622\/4726\/files\/Ronan-Bouroullec-Bas-Reliefs-min-scaled.jpg?v=1790173650","url":"https:\/\/terrranova.com\/products\/bas-reliefs","provider":"Terranova","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
