Paint on tile
Artist unknown
I choose this piece because I got a chance to visit a family friend's studio where he refurbished, collected and remade tiles from all over the world over winter break. When I visited I was fascinated by the amount of effort and detail that went into each tile. What I love about this sort of work is the amount of expression attained with such a small palate of colors (4 in this case), the swooping patterns made up of dynamic lines and thick fills. The whole pattern is a messed coil of a spring, practically popping off of the ceramic plate.
I like its complicated shapes and interesting color choices
