Wound Vessels on show at Nel, Cape Town

Richardt Strydom, Wound Vessel #1, underglaze and glaze on earthenware (2020).

Two of my ceramic pieces are currently on show as part of Nel Art’s Summer Salon 20/21. These works from the Wound Vessel series, shown below are part of my ongoing exploration of the ceramics as a contemporary fine art medium, both in terms of its material properties and signification and how this plays into prominent themes in my work: identity performance, masculinity, violence, trauma etc. 

If you are in Cape Town you can check out the show during gallery hours:
