Open Oval Crumpled Form
Nicholas Arroyave-PortelaEnglish, born 1972
Nicholas Arroyave-Portela’s wheel-thrown vessel evokes its maker’s fascination with water. Both the tactile, rippled surface and the play of light and color across the body allude to the changing effects of objects in and seen through water. Fascinated by shape, volume, and fullness, Arroyave-Portela creates this illusion by dimensionally modulating the surface of the vessel. The artist evokes shadows through the use of color, accentuating the crenulated surfaces.
