Description
Liliana Basarab uses ceramics knowing too well how this medium is associated with decorative arts and with an empirical, emotional way of working. Her objects are fragile without being precious and are strong precisely because they are manually crafted – sharp technique, no hesitations.
Pieces that could be considered as being feminine are displayed as cult objects and are unapologetically choosing the best exposure spot for themselves. Objects that could be read as masculine are dimensionally reduced, almost toy-like. Together, they form a nature in which anomalies go beyond a critique of patriarchy and manage to even – temporarily – suspend binarism itself. They do this while remaining weightless and genuine, humorously avoiding any traces of strain.
