Untitled 

Christian Royal, born in 1993, crafted this Untitled plate from clay, its creation undoubtedly influenced by contemporary attitudes towards craft and consumerism. The delicate green pattern, reminiscent of vintage transferware, evokes a sense of nostalgia, perhaps reflecting a broader cultural fascination with the past. In a society increasingly dominated by mass-produced goods, Royal's handmade plate can be seen as a commentary on the value of artisanal production. The choice of a functional object, a plate, elevates the everyday to the level of art, blurring the boundaries between the domestic and the artistic sphere. By looking at the artist's influences and cultural context, we can understand the social and economic factors that shaped Royal's artistic choices. Further research into contemporary craft movements and consumer culture could shed light on the deeper meaning of this seemingly simple object.
