Altered Swans Series

Altered Swans Set 10/15

$700.00

Black Series, Swans 28-30

This is a set of three swans, small, medium, and large.
Originally presented to be sold as a sets, the current economic climate has directed interest to the single pieces, numbers 46-55 and the Ugly Duckling series.
The sets are now available as single pieces.
Possibly this will create some interesting collecting stories in the years ahead!
This is available as a set until one or the three pieces is sold as an individual piece.

 

The Black Series (Sets 8-11) are a journey into one’s reflectance and self-guidance. Throughout my art career I have been in a constant conversation with my paintings of a black nature. I believe that they sit in a limbo state between worlds where emotion does not exist, only thought and contemplation. It is a well and I aim to fill it with long thoughts, old thoughts, and things that are on my mind so that there is room for new growth and new days. I can pour my heart into this space, in this void where I am accepted. Here, I can speak freely through my gestures and carvings. There is nothing to judge, noone to care, only me and my road to self-acceptance.

Artist: Max Brown

 

Important Note –  There is a small crack on the wing of the large piece, number 30/55, this is visible in the images. Max chose some bisque(the unglazed ceramic body) with what would normally be considered faults. These were worked in to series, as what began as a hair line crack opened up during the glaze firing – Mathew enjoyed learning some new tricks, as the story was woven into these sets, and individual pieces.

“there was some unearthly element that seems to shine by accepting it, in this Black Series” ,Mathew.

Max mentioned ‘ life is full of these moment we choose, often without realizing, sometimes blind to the obvious”
