Dish 1850

This "Dish" by Kikko is a ceramic piece, its form a simple yet elegant square. The deep, lustrous glaze creates a tactile invitation, a smooth surface begging to be touched. Notice how the artist interrupts the minimalist form with two distinct motifs. The first, an oval emblem, disrupts the linear precision of the dish with its organic, fluid lines. The second motif, more angular, mirrors the square form. The motifs suggest a dialogue between nature and structure, echoing broader artistic concerns with reconciling the organic and the geometric. This play with form and symbol challenges fixed meanings, inviting us to consider the dish not merely as functional but as a meditation on balance. It embodies a structured yet mutable significance, open to ongoing interpretation and re-interpretation.
